Telepathy & Mind Control, usable only on snakes, requires incantations.

That's the snake control part, but the hidden attack I'd make a RKA, no range, indirect - plus whatever drain the poison is.
If the personal snake can be removed, then make it an IIF.

I dont know if I would write up the attack that way.

There isnt any reason why he cant just rely on the Mind Control to command the snakes to "attack" or "protect". It wearing off might be troublesome, but I would hope this guy is going to be immune to terrestrial snake-based poisons.

Another option would be to have his attack/defence snakes be friendly Summoned creatures, and have the summon require a snake of the type to be summoned as a 'material component'.

Or buy a certain number of snakes as followers, and if they get killed tap in 5 more points to double the number of followers for replacements.
