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.
