Well the room is a prison of sorts, old bean. Get bars on the window. Or rather piano wire or cage screen, firmly fixed in place, attached to the casement and cannot be opened. Use the same criteria that they use for providing ventilation in prisons.
I keep thinking of an O Hannah that turned up on a 4th floor balcony of a high rise in downtown Bangkok.

There was also a Mamba that got loose on the east coast of the US and player hide and go seek for several months.

Had a cute one happen the other day. I was riding on the back of the motorcycle, the boss driving. She suddenly clamped on the brakes. There was this tiny little O Hannah, maybe 18 inches long, sunning itself on the side of the road. She used the front tire of the bike, waggling it in the snakes face while sternly admonishing it to find a safer place to warm up.

BTW, have you kept track of this man's photography? Definitely Smithsonian caliber. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/scien...ographs-of-slithering-beasts-27577991/?no-ist
Check out the Hannah about half way down the page. Unreal.
That's an amazing photo! I am actually finally thinking about relaxing my ban on large venomous with a baby Chinese banded :).

As for a screen cage to the window, they do accept that if it is a secure solid structure but my landlord is not interested in it.

Oh come on, they charged you for having the window open on a really hot day, even though the cages were secure? That's some BS right there.
Yeah, plus they charged me for keeping ball pythons in a rack system, which was about 50cm wide and 1m long. I had to sell all the non venomous as I didn't have any space for them.
