It mostly depends on the species of snake being used and if it was purchased tanned or is being tanned by you.I use alot of snake ,both purchased and tanned by me.Most purchased snakeskins don't need any real treatment but I use Fiebing's Leather Sheen on everything , so its normal for me.Any fresh skins tanned by you must be treated ,usually many coats of FLS( see above).For glue just about any will work such as contact cement, barge, or like I use Titebond II(water resistant yellow glue).Hope this helps.
