Its not possible to create Database snapshot in Log shipped secondary server.
If you are looking secondary server for reporting purpose, then you can use Standby mode of log shipping- Edited by Srinivasan Ram Friday, January 04, 2013 9:39 AM

Hello,
"In a log shipping configuration, database snapshots can be created only on the primary database, not on a secondary database".

Hope this helps.
