I keep 11 burms. Every one of them has a different personality and activity level. They range from a 5' baby to a 15' girl. None of them are in what I would consider the 'monster' size range, but they are still more than impressive. And with each of them behaving just slightly different, I have to be constantly aware. I could very easily, one day, accidentally mistake one burm for another and approach her wrong and end up a statistic myself. Its very hard to just make a generalization like 'Sure they make good pets' because every animal has its own unique traits and personality.
You might want to find a local rescue or someone locally who keeps large constrictors and ask if you can help out with them for a while. Get a feel for the level of care, and sheer task of doing something as simple as moving them out of the cage for cleaning. =)
