Alcohol - ethanol, ethyl, whiskey, vodka, the drinkable stuff, NOT isopropanol / isopropyl / rubbing will get anything - snake, turtle, fish, dog, cat, ad nauseam, etc., to letcha go pronto. The little one-shot bottles are a good size, although getting the cap off in a hurry might prove to be problematic, especially if your hands are otherwise occupied.
Mouthwashes are probably a good bet - a lot of them contain alcohol (ethanol) & most of 'em taste horrible, although I don't think snakes have a sense of taste to go along with their very acute sense of smell.
Leave the cattle prods, stun guns, & Tasers in the interrogation rooms of the cops.
Pepper sprays contain capsicum / capciacin / capsiacin & are potentially dangerous to both you & the animal.
Tail-bending / crimping also works, but requires two hands as well as access to the tail.
NEVER mess with a big snake alone - the buddy system is mandatory & be sure that your buddy won't freak out & become useless.
