And how this is related to reptiles? If it is a real necessity, your mother will buy it. This sounds more like a "want," since you are wondering how you can "get" her to buy it. Can you earn $$$ on your own, baby sitting, paper route, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, that kind of thing? Can you do extra chores around the house, that you don't normally do, to earn $$$? Back to the reptile, is this something your mother would want in the house?

Depends on what it is, and if it's a real need, or just a want. If it's a need, ask her, and explain why you need it, if it's not apparent. Like you wouldn't have to explain why you need feminine protection, that's obvious. If you're asking for something obscure, like 100 yards of aluminum foil and a car battery, that might require some explaining!
If the item is truly something you need, I'm sure your mom will get it for you. If it's not a necessity, then you will have to have a convincing explanation of why you need it.
If it's really just a want, you can offer to work it off around the house, or something. If you promise to do it, though, make sure you follow through. If you don't, the next time you want something, you'll be a lot less likely to get it.
If she's still reluctant, offer to work it off before receiving it, if it's something that can wait a bit. If the problem is that money's tight right now, ask her if you can earn your own money. You could get a job walking dogs, or feeding pets and watering plants when someone is on vacation, or be a mother's helper. That's easy, you just play with the kids and keep them out of trouble so their mom can get some work done. Ask around your neighborhood and see if anyone would be interested in hiring you for one of these jobs. If a lot of people walk up and down your street, set up a lemonade stand in your frontyard. there's a lot of things you can do to earn money, if you think about it. Just think about what you are capable of. Hope these ideas help some. Good luck!

Tell her how much you need it and what benefits it can do for you, and if your mother doesn't like it keep talking her into it or help around the house until she's fully persuaded,
one time i wanted to pierce my ears twice so that i can wear two earings in one, and she kept saying how wrong or how bad it will be for me until her friend called and said that she got herself and her daughter pierced three times and now my mom saw how cool it was and made and appointment with our family doctor to do it for me after tommorow :-)
i still don't see what this question has to do with reptiles.

I'm sure if you really needed it, she would.
Sounds like a want to me!
How about you earn the money yourself and then you can buy something you WANT!

Ask her.
Offer to do chores in return... wash the dishes for a week, clean the car etc etc
If she agrees, make sure you actually DO what you said you would....otherwise she won't agree to it in the future!
Good luck :)

Ask. Let me clarify. Ask nicely...maybe offer to help her as well, like around the house or in the yard.

I'm thinking that you probably don't really "need" whatever it is, because it's in the reptiles category (unless you already have a reptile and you need supplies for it).
