The question should also be "dangerous to whom?".

Injury associated with reptiles tends to be between the owner and their pet, but what are the numbers associated with the general public? I haven't heard of many random python attacks from roaming snakes against the general public. On the other hand we see that with dogs, that can be from an escape dog or from some one coming in contact with an aggressive dog in the dog's space, i.e. the yard. We don't see many strangers entering into a snake enclosure.

So, if we are contemplating laws to protect the general public then we need to consider who is getting injured and why.
