In general, the idea of any free-roaming reptile is a bad idea. Aside from the increased possibility of escape, and them crapping on your possessions, there's a very real danger to the animals and yourself. What if you slip, fall over, and land on one? A 150lb+ human landing on even a large boa would break numerous ribs and possibly its spine, and smaller reptiles would almost certainly be killed. Even in a 'reptile proof' room, they can get into things and places where they could get hurt.

Invest in cages, *then* buy an animal.
