I'll tell you what to do.

First you get rid of all of your other animals like you planned on doing.

Then get yourself a nice ball python set up. Tank, lights, dig. thremo/humidity meter, hides, plants, the whole works. Put everything you can think of in that tank. Except for the snake. Yes, leave the tank empty.

Now, here's how you get the snake. Spend as much time looking into the tank. Act as if there was an animal in there.
Clean it,
admire it,
talk to it.

Either she will feel sorry for you talking to an empty tank, and get you a snake.

Or, she will think you've gone off of your rocker. And we all know that mom's don't want people knowing that thier baby is crazy. So, she'll do just about anything to keep that a secret. Even allowing you to have a snake.

Good luck!
