Philodryas species have killed people. However, the venom delivery is not very efficient so they can be safely worked with using sturdy gloves and a long sleeve shirt. It would be good to use a hook to transfer the snake if you want to be particularly careful. As for what to put the snake in while cleaning, a deep garbage bin is always handy.
