I suppose point out the fact there is no cost to her and there is no additional space or supplies needed. You already have an enclosure ready for your snake, you just need the snake. Many reputable breeders sell normals for $20-$30. Confidence is key, but so is respect for your mother.
Don't forget you will need a seperate quarantine space for a few months while the new snake acclimates, or you could risk transmitting some serious parasites and illnesses to Nightmare. Entire collections have been wiped out by careless or nonexistant quarantine procedures.
