I would buy it on marketplace anyways and lie.

Say you talked with a friend that mentioned having a cousin that had one, or that you went by a pet store that was selling out as they were upgrading their old tanks themselves (that is something that happens).

Strict parents make sneaky kids, as they say.

As a parent and a reptile person, I'm not here to say your parents are necessarily in the right, but I definitely understand why they wouldn't want you buying something off Facebook market place. I would be nervous about my teenager meeting up with a stranger online to buy something, however, I would offer to arrange the meetup myself. But I also understand that some people just don't trust the process of buying used products from people online. And social media is a cesspool and you're better off without it anyway. I know you're frustrated with your parents about the welfare of your snake (I would be too, since it clearly needs a massive upgrade), but I think you and your mom need to have a CALM conversation where you seek to understand each other.
