I'm trying to hunt for Hunter Slimes in version 0.3.5c in the not-so-secret lake area.
Do they spawn at certain times that are more specific than when the sun is set? Also, it mentioned in the code or by the developers anywhere?

The hunter slime wiki page has several tips on catching them
First:
If you want to catch that slime in the wild, do it at night, since they will be less rare.
Second:
Because of their masking abilities, you can barely see them sometimes, especially at night. Try looking for their faces, since they are always visible.
And Finally:
Hunter Slimes make a distinctive sound when they turn invisible. Listening for that sound could help you find one!
So all in all, hunting for these rare slimes at night will increase your chances of finding them, but will make them harder to spot in general due to their ability to turn invisible. Keep your eyes and ears open however, and you should be able to find some.
Edit:
No there is no specific time after dark when the hunter slimes spawn rate increases. The following youtube video (video) shows an actual location however, which is claimed by multiple users in THIS reddit post to have a higher or possibly faster spawn rate.
Since my goal was to know when to stop looking for treasures in a given area, the map feature introduced in 1.0.1 does exactly that. After activating a Map Module, the total and obtained amount of Slime Keys and Treasure Pods in an area is shown on the map screen.
To remove accessories from your slimes, the only way is to suck them up into your Vacpack, and then to shoot them out. You will then get your accessories back.
Do note that this only applies for normal slimes. For Largo slimes, there is currently no way to remove the accessories from them.
