Uncoil it from the tail, not from the head, and don't panic?

Of course.. the sensible thing is never to put yourself in a situation where a big snake is coiling around you

Am I the only person that thinks it a little late to be wondering this? you have a 14ft snake, that you knew would get to this size when you got it and you don't have any idea of recommended protocols for handling a snake of this size and how to deal with the potential outcome of handling the animal...................

Shoot me down if you wish

I'm sure that snake would be incredibly strong, take care when feeding and i mirror the advice of others i.e. don't handle it by yourself. What kind of VIV do you keep it in ?

That's a bit snake.

Make sure there's someone there when you get it out and make sure the vivs secure.
