I'll take a machete and a shot gun thanks.

That's if you spot it before it grabs you. I imagine it's gonna be hard to aim a shotgun or swing a machete once the snake starts constricting you.

The one thing snakes like this do quickly is grab and coil around their prey. Everything else is slow slow slow. You’d really need some sort of pepper spray in a breakable tube that activates upon constriction. Hmmmmm….
