It seems to either be homeostasis so the snake may regulate its state of being like how a person will take off their coat when it gets too warm or growth where the snake sheds its skin to prepare for growth. From what I can tell, the answer can't be excretion, reproduction, or nutrition. As the skin, gave no initial nutritional value so that eliminates excretion and nutrition. The snake isn't giving birth to other snakes during this process so that eliminates Reproduction.

The simplest answer would be to look at a punnet square. it gives you the random chance that a trait gets passed on to offspring. it's made off probability of dominant and recessive genes. But it's random in the end.
