Background

Lin Xuan accepted the livestream viewers' suggestion to name the green White-lipped Bamboo Viper “Xiao Qing,” believing the name suited her coloration 21. She soon became his close companion, responding eagerly when called for food, coiling around his thigh to be carried, and eventually entering his tent to sleep beside him 23 25.

Although she stays at Lin Xuan's home, he does not restrict the animals' freedom to leave. Xiao Qing has remained with him and peacefully coexists with the other animals in his care 65.

Her first shedding became dangerous when she exhausted herself trying to remove the old skin without a suitable rock crevice. After she directly sought Lin Xuan's help, he carefully used tweezers to free the remaining skin from her tail 27 28.

Appearance

Xiao Qing is a green White-lipped Bamboo Viper whose coloration becomes increasingly lustrous after each shedding.

  • Triangular head and dark, shiny eyes 23 28
  • Deep ink-green scales that shimmer like jade after her first shedding 28
  • Dark-green, gem-like scales after her second shedding 141
  • Had grown to approximately seventy to eighty jin by her second shedding 140

Personality

Xiao Qing is affectionate, playful, and childlike around Lin Xuan. She seeks warmth in his clothes after exhausting herself, acts spoiled when she wants food or attention, and has a habit of hiding in corners when jealous of new animals in the household 28 35 150 151.

She is also observant and loyal. Xiao Qing obeys Lin Xuan when told not to frighten guests or hunt protected wildlife, and she once brought food to a hungry young falcon while Lin Xuan was away 34 43 65.

During her difficult labor, Xiao Qing continued to trust Lin Xuan despite her pain. She appeared to comfort him when she noticed his panic and later hid because she felt guilty for bruising his arm 293 294.
