Unlikely. Because had it been poisonous snake bite, acute and severe symptoms would have occurred.

Hi! 😊 Those two marks on your heel from 5 days ago with no swelling, pain or other symptoms are very good signs to say its most likely not a venomous snake bite. it’s often an insect or simple puncture.
Book a quick consultation with me so I can assess it properly and give you a clear plan for full peace of mind.

Since 5 days have passed and you haven't mentioned any swelling, pain, breathing difficulty, or other symptoms, the chances of serious envenomation are low. The two marks could be from a non-venomous snake, an insect, or even a thorn. That said, you should still get the wound examined in person â it may need proper cleaning and possibly a tetanus shot if you're not up to date. If you develop any swelling, numbness, weakness, vision changes, or difficulty breathing, go to the emergency room immediately.

Based on history alone, snake bite cannot be confirmed or excluded. In absence of progressive local swelling, bleeding manifestations, or neurotoxic symptoms over 5 days, significant envenomation appears less likely. Clinical examination and further evaluation are advised if symptoms persist/worsen.
