Snake Whisperer
Starting at 1st level, you can speak to snakes, and you have advantage on checks to interect with them socially.
Additionally, you have resistance to poison damage and have advantage on saving throws to avoid or remove the posioned condition.
Petrifying Gaze
Starting at 6th level, you can use an action to target a creature that you can see, and that can see you, within 30ft of you and force them to make a Constitution saving throw against your sorcerer spell save DC. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, or the creature willingly fails the saving throw, the creature is petrified for 1 minute. Otherwise, a creature that fails the save partly turns to stone and is restrained for 1 minute. A restrained creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, removing the condition on a success.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Is this too strong (perhaps petrified should also have a way out)?
14th level TBD
Improved Petrifying Gaze
Starting at 18th level, if a creature restrained by your Petrifying Gaze feature is still restrained by the end of its next turn and fails the repeated saving throw, it becomes petrified.
Additionally, a creature that is petrified by your Petrifying Gaze feature remains petrified until the creature is freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic.
