This is normal. In Gen 2 to 8, Snorlax will always produce Snorlax eggs instead of Munchlax eggs, unless it holds Full Incense (introduced in Gen 4).

This is because Munchlax is a baby Pokemon first appearing in Gen 4, while Snorlax is an original from Gen 1. The designers wanted some rationale for why breeding Snorlax would not produce Munchlax in previous games.

It does the same thing with a Chansey! I Wanted a happiny but it gave me chansey!! Any help with that?
To get Happiny, have Chansey hold a Luck Incense
All baby pokemon in the undiscovered egg group work like this for breeding.
Baby pokemon since gen3 needs inscents
