I dunno what would be a better attempt at self defense against such large snakes, but I think I'd start carrying around both pepper spray and also a stun gun, just in case.

No idea if either would be fully effective, but damn that would be a hell of a way to go, might as well try to be prepared to defend myself.

I used to use rubbing alcohol on my pet snake's nose if he accidentally latched onto me instead of his food. I don't have any idea if that would work on snakes that kill by constriction though
