Virtually no one is going to be able to take the feat at level 2. You want the prerequisite to be level 3.

Also, I think you should indicate the bite damage, poison damage, and poison DC in the feat for convenience's sake.

Sleep caps out at 4 hit dice. By the time you get it, it is useless. I'd have it grant Charm Monster, Suggestion, and Color Spray.

Hmm... I need to think on this. Offhand, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Hmm... Okay some tweakage...

Ophidian Maw
Set has given you the venomous bite of a viper.
Prerequisites: Ophidian Affinity, level 3.
Benefits: You gain the bite attack and poison special attack of a viper the same size as your own. (If you are medium sized your damage will be 1d4-1 + poison) You can cast Magic Fang once per day on yourself only. Your caster level is equal to your Warlock class level.
Special: You lose all benefits of this feat if you lose favour with Set until you atone for your infractions.


Ophidian Gaze
Set has blessed you with the hypnotic gaze of a snake.
Prerequisites: Ophidian Affinity, level 6.
Benefits: Your pupils turn to slits and you can cast Sleep, Charm Person, Hypnotic Pattern, and Suggstion once per day each. Your caster level is equal to your Warlock class level.
Special: You lose all benefits of this feat if you lose favour with Set until you atone for your infractions.
 

I would revise Ophidian Maw to read this:

Ophidian Maw
Set has given you the venomous bite of a viper.
Prerequisites: Ophidian Affinity, level 3.
Benefits: You gain a natural bite attack which deals 1d4 points of damage and poisonous bite that deals initial and secondary damage of 1d6 Con. The save DC is 10 + 1/2 character level + Con mod.
You can cast Magic Fang once per day on yourself only. Your caster level is equal to your Warlock class level.
Special: You lose all benefits of this feat if you lose favour with Set until you atone for your infractions.

As for Ophidian Gaze, I was balancing that with Fey Presence, which grants a 1st level, 3rd level, and 4th level spell as an SLA. You currently have it granting two 1st level spells, one 2nd level spell, and one 3rd level spell. Something to keep in mind.

That is better... On Ophidian Gaze I was trying to balance the theme with the spell levels. Did not see any spells that fit better...
 

Something for worshipers of Bast...

Feline Affinity
The goddess Bast, queen of cats, has touched you with power...
Prerequisites: Dex 13+, ability to use Least Invocations, cat familiar.
Benefits: You gain the Slow Fall ability of a Monk equal to 4+1/2 your Warlock class level. This ability stacks with any monk levels you may have. You can cast Cat's Grace once per day. Your caster level is equal to your Warlock class level.
Special: If you lose or dismiss your cat familiar for any reason you lose all benefits until you acquire a new cat familiar.

Animals in many myths have their own secret powers, totems spirits and beast lords can manipulate human lives. Why not have them steer the fates of warlocks? What else can we use to create more variety in warlocks?
