I got my first snake at 15, after my parents told me I couldn't have one for 4 years. I just went and bought the snake and everything he needed, brought it home and kept it in my room. My mom was mad at first, but got over it. I still live with her, and have 9 snakes now. Anytime she sees one she screams and freaks out and calls them evil and "slimy" (where does this even come from?), but she doesn't care about them when they're out of sight.
I say just getting one and proving your responsibility is the best course of action after you've exhausted yourself trying to convince them they're not devilish creatures
