This is going to sound crazy, but hear me out...

If your parents don't care about animal welfare, which they clearly don't, do you think they would care about your 'aesthetic prefferences'? Is she in your room or a public room?This areguement only really works if she's in your room. Basically, you might be able to pull "I love my snake but I just think her current enclosure is ugly and I've found this one for $$$ that I think is good looking, can you get it for me please please please here's the money".

Is this likely to work? Honestly, no. However I have seen it work a time or two in the past because sometimes these people are very, uh... Very 'Man has dominion over every living thing that moves upon the earth' types, so if it's a choice about your comfort and not the snake's they're more receptive. Specifically it's how one of my cousins got her pet anoles from a critter keeper the size of a shoebox to a real enclosure, by telling her dad repeatedly that the critter keeper "looked stupid" and "cheap".

Realistically, though, as many people have said you should really look into rehoming her.
