Short and sweet, answering what you're asking:
YES.
A bit more explanation with handling larger snakes:
Many 'larger' snakes are not in any way lethal, but if they get pissy and bite you, it can be a hassle to get them off even with help. But it is still 'safe', in that I firmly believe it is impossible for even the largest BCIs to present lethal dangers towards adult humans. The worst you'd get is some torn flesh and have a bit longer time getting the snake off than if you had help.
