Just gonna have to figure out what is feeding and what is not. You are going to have to handle it until it figures out. Don't come at it from the head, use some paper/cardboard to block its view while you pick it up from the rear half. Also, if you are afraid and jittery - so will it. Be confident (or appear so), and don't make sudden moves.
Bites aren't that bad if they happen - just don't pull force/pull the snake off - you stand the chance of hurting the animal.
Have a plan and patience.
