Personally I'd never wrap a large snake around my shoulders or neck. A large snake can quickly wrap around you, just do a search for people killed by large snakes, it's the only way they can really take you out. It's better to use multiple people and handle them at about waist height like in this photo below. And it's best to always have multiple people around when you do handle them in case anything goes wrong. When I'm alone I typically just assist the snake to get from one tub to another or up onto the table. She is getting too big to risk getting wrapped up by her.
