I'm not sure why people think reptiles are slimy, they're not, their skin feels more leathery or like smooth plastic or vinyl. Hardly what I would call slimy. Amphibians are slimy, which makes sense since amphibians have permeable skin but reptiles have impermeable skin (it's actually more impermeable than ours) so it stands to reason that to would not feel wet or slimy at all, and they pretty much don't.

I would disagree though that pythons feel smooth, they do still have that rough reptilian feel, they don't don't feel gross though, at least I don't think so. If you have Herpetophobia you might disagree with my take.

I held a small snake on my hands during a school trip a long time ago. I remember it felt leathery, kinda rubbery, and not slimy at all. What shocked me the most though was that it was cold, which is not surprising since it's a cold-blooded animal, but still felt so wrong to me as someone who had only ever been around cats and dogs.

Inside the top snake’s mouth: two deadly fangs

Inside the bottom snake’s mouth: OOPS! ALL FANGS

No venom at least!
