I'd say it would likely work with deer, but not snakes. I read once
that hot chiles in bird seed will keep squirrels out of the bird
feeder -- at first. But when the lil buggers get hungry enough,
they'll eat hot seeds. Then once they get used to the spicy stuff,
they prefer it to regular seeds.

I can't footnote this, however.
