Heloderm venom doesn't kill you, but it can REALLY mess you up. Well, heck, it probably could kill you if you were really unlucky, I don't think that many people have been bitten yet. I personally wouldn't trust plain leather gloves either, with that kind of risk. Nothing to mess around with. I don't have one yet, but I'm actually planning on it in the future.
A lot of venomous snakes fall in the bad but probably not lethal catagory. There are also venomous snakes that aren't really dangerous at all, (mostly colubrids of different sorts) so how you treat them can be your judgement call.
