It took me several months to convince my wife to let me get a pair of ringed pythons (same pocketbook so it made no difference who did the transaction).
If you learn all about them and keep talking about all the aspects of their natural history, etc, he may be more likely to go for it because of your strong interest in them rather than the "they are really cool" or "you owe me/ don't you love me" type requests. It also helps if he is into reptiles too.
Also, make sure you are ready for them well ahead of time.
