Need good reading to dispel common misunderstandings about pet snakes

We rent a detached single-family house. The property manager lives next door. I have no idea who the owner is. I don't think the property manager really cares, and I think the owner has no clue what to think. It's easier to just say no than to have to think about something. I am asking for snakes to be explicitly included in the lease renewal (they are currently not). I'll be glad to furnish a snake once I have explicit permission to keep one. I didn't think it would be a problem since we have parrots which are far louder, more messy, and more liable to ruin things in the house than a snake one. Previous tenants had pets as well. It really shouldn't be a problem. I asked for an explanation of why they are concerned. If I could talk directly to the owner, I think it would take me 5 minutes to assuage his or her fears. Problem is, I have a middleman so communication is going from me to property manager to owner, and then from owner to property manager and back to me.

I appreciate your genuine interest in my situation, Alessia. I'll handle it on my own from here as to not waste any more of anyone's time. Thanks again.
