Errr,
All snakes are NOT poisonous (that's spiders). Though I suppose it makes sense to treat them as such.
If you are trying to chase it, grab it, wack it or otherwise appear aggressive, the snake is gonna get pissed and have a go. Especially if you try and corner it.
Either that or it will retreat, though probably not far.
Snakes, even big ones, can get into remarkably small spaces. Anything wider than a pencil and they'll be down it. Because we live in the country we can't call "Snakeaway" every time one gets in the house or shed, so we just deal with them carefully.
Luring it out with what it WANTS, i.e. food / dark place is the only safe way to do it. I kept and bred snakes for years. Some of them very aggresive and poisonous and the above method was taught to me by by a reptile house keeper from the San Diego Zoo.
Patience is called for.
Once you've 'bagged' your foe, then you can call "Snakes 'r' Us" and have them remove it.
