From what I know, Shelbyville is a nice, small town.
I don't know whether your asthma would be worse here or not; if high humidity makes it worse, then it probably would be worse here for a couple of months during the year. Remember though that air-conditioning is everywhere now . . . home, car, and office. There can be some miserable days during July and August if it's exceptionally hot and humid, but you don't have to be out in it all the time. And I think our springs and autumns are great here.
As for spiders and snakes, yes, we have them (and a few irritating little bugs) but you probably are worrying about nothing. I live near a river and I've occasionally seen a snake in my walks along the river, but other than that I don't remember seeing a snake around the house in the past twenty years. Snakes seems to be a major concern of people thinking of moving here, which always seems strange to those of us who do live here. I'm surprised you didn't ask about tornadoes too; another major concern of out-of-staters.
I've not trying to talk you into moving. That's a major decision that only you can make. There are good things and bad things about anyplace, including Tennessee. For me, I don't really want to live anywhere else, but then I'm an old Tennessee boy; the rolling hills, hardwood forests, mountains, rivers and lakes, and change of seasons is in my blood.
Just do your research, come for a visit or two, and decide if it's right for you. Good luck.
