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'm assuming the person has at least one hand free. A big "that's not a noife, this is a noife" would solve the problem lickety split. If both arms are pinned then there isn't much you can do. Try to bite it I guess, but they're used to being bitten by animals much more ferocious than humans.
