I'm generally against regulations on what people can have as pets, but in cases of animals that can be fatal even when contained and handled properly (big cats, venomous snakes, ect.) I think the licensing should be stricter so that only qualified people who are devoted to doing things right can get their hands on them and if something goes wrong they would be the only ones endangered by it.
Just for clarification, I don't really consider big constrictors to be in that group. They're not going to do fatal damage in two seconds, and if they could overpower and kill someone there should really be another person around when that animal is being handled.
