The word "snakeskin" refers to either the shed skin after moulting (shedding) or leather made from the hide of a dead skin. Yes they have a skin, but it is not quite the same as human skin. Their outer membrane is covered with scales (scutes) which protect, help in movement, retain moisture, and camouflage the snake.
The skin of a snake is covered in scales. It has a dry, smooth texture. The scales on the belly are used to specialize in gripping surfaces and to travel. The scales on the body of the snake may be smooth, keeled, or granular. Snakes shed their skin through a process called ecdysis, or in a normal use, moulting or sloughing. The complete outer layer of of skin is shed in one layer. They do this because this allows worn skin to be replaced with a newer one, it gets rid of parasites and ticks, and the renewal of skin allows the snake to grow. Older snakes would shed their once or twice a year because they are no longer growing, but younger snakes will shed up to four times a year. Snake skin, in commercial uses, are used to make leather for all sorts of things. Wallets, purses, clothing, and furniture decoration are just a few uses.
A snake skin is shiny. The lustrous scales may appear wet. in reality the snake's skin feels like a leather belt or a pair of patent leather shoes,: smooth, dry, silky and satiny.
Most snakes are smooth, though there are some, such as the Rubber Snake, that feel different.

How is molting in snakes different from molting in athropods?
Molting in snakes involves shedding their outer layer of skin in one piece, while molting in arthropods involves shedding their exoskeleton in multiple stages. Snakes shed their skin to accommodate growth and remove parasites, while arthropods molt to grow and repair damage to their exoskeleton. Additionally, molting in snakes is generally less frequent compared to arthropods.
