Leather gloves are not good for a number of reasons. They are normally pretty tough - a lot tougher than human skin, and can break young snakes teeth a lot easier. Also, you can't tell how strong your grip is on a small snake...

Sure, getting bitten isn't fun, but it doesn't exactly hurt either...they hardly draw blood at that size.
