No snakes! That's awful! Just take your mom over Boaguy's house and show her how fun, "friendly", and cute (if you will) they can be... and be subtle about getting a snake.... don't bug her just desensitize her to the idea by talking about how some make fairly easy "pets" .... and start off with something easy and not too big... like a corn... you'd be surprised how quickly non-herping women can get endeared to corns... the boas are facinating and noble looking but mom's tend to flock toward the "cute" and colorful ones... just my expericence....
i'd vote for a leo or another crestie as your second though.... initally, smaller is better....
have fun!
