There's two considerations, IMO. The first is legal.
A large boid is a potentially dangerous animal. Adopting one out to, or selling one to, a minor is akin to begging for legal problems. The same holds true for venomous reptiles.
The other consideration is stability. At 15, it's pretty much impossible for you to predict with any degree of certainty what course your life is going to take over the next few years. Are you going to go to college. Will you get accepted to a local school where you can commute, or are you going to be accepted to a major university where you'd be living in the dorms? It would be counterproductive for a rescue to adopt out a Burm, for example, if there's a reasonable chance it's going to be looking for a new home in a few years again.
