Funny part is, snakes aren't even remotely slimy. Their skin is generally quite dry--more like patent leather or something.
I generally will go out of my way to avoid killing a spider, except when it is or closely resembles a black widow, which live in great numbers in my area. Then, out comes the Raid.
I used to room with a guy who was raising hundreds of king snakes in the garage, so I'm cool with them too, though I really don't see them in the wild. Obviously I'd give a rattler a wide berth if I met one.
