Buy her something she wants, that will distract her.
See, that's the thing. The custom cage looks prettier and shows off the snake. Plus it's built (ostensibly) for a single snake. So she doesn't feel like I'm trying to sneak a bunch more snakes in. It gets my foot in the door to getting her more serious about snakes, she wants to get our girl a boyfriend (that can live happily in her starter and then current tank)...

You gotta pick your battles, preferably so that the wife doesn't consider them battles. Or at least thinks she's winning. After all, there are only two theories on how to argue with a woman and neither of them work.
