As someone who has had a boa hanging over my shoulders while I was petting it's head as it moved around in front of my face, I can say the following:

Snake scales are not jagged, sharp, slimy or uncomfortable at all. In fact they feel smooth and quite pleasant to touch. Their surface also repells dirt so they are quite clean.

Also, since snakes are cold blooded, they quite enjoy physical contact with people :)
