alot of fears come from not knowing.
help her to know the coooool things about snakes. teach her their habits and what they can / cannot do. what they eat, etc. and explain what is attractive about owning a snake. i am afraid of wild snakes but owning a pet snake would be soooo coool. (and i am 47 yrs old!!) help her to understand snakes, and she may come on over to your desire to own one. hope this helps

Time, research, and several trip to the pet store. When you do go to the pet store, get the clerks to let you hold and handle the snake. Just don't push her to do it. Hopefully, she will see that you are not in danger and give in. Even if she never breaks her fear completely. The exposure will help get her used to the idea of having one around.
Ps.
I used to be petrified of snakes and lizards myself. I now own a 4 ft royal ball python and a bearded dragon, amongst other things.

You won't! A snake was the one pet that my mom would never tolerate in the house. Wait until you have your own place; then you can do what you want.

show your mom a baby ball python. they are sweet and very tame! but like someone else said never feed it in front of her. let her touch the snake too and tell her how tame it is all the time and how you have a passion for snakes that she's crucshing

Snakes don't like to be pets. Do your mom, and the snake a favory and get yourself a nice kitty instead. If it must be a reptile, bearded dragons make the best reptile pets.

get the smallest and most harmless snake in the world and make sure not to EVER let it out of its cage even though the snake will never have fresh air

Go to a pet store and ask to hold a snake that doesn't bite. Small chain pet stores will probably have tame adults that you can hold. Maybe she'll see it not biting and want to touch it. That's what happened to me. I held a tame adult and saw it wasn't biting. I now have 2 adults, 11 babies, and soon to have a juvenile.

Well this will take quite a long time to make her non-afraid of snakes, to solve this problem all you have to do is keep her intouch with it till she will get used to it...
