Does this look like a snake bite?

So my wife was walking around our backyard before the last time I cut the grass and felt "like she got punched" in the foot and then a sharp pain on her foot.
Her foot didn't swell, but the two puncture wounds bled a little. The picture is the inside of her left foot.
After racking my brain for the cause of this, the only thing I could come up with is a dry bite from a snake. Copperheads can dry bite up to 80% of the time, so that's a strong possibility.
What says the OB? The two puncture points are close together (1/2"ish), so it would have to have been a juvenile snake.

tough one as it looks too wide for a spider and most non-venomous snakes will have several teeth and make a cutting bite and not just two punctures. That would freak me the frick out if it were a copperhead that just dry bit me (didn't know they could do that)....

Looks like it to me.

Spider. Put some hydrogen peroxide on that bitch before it swells.

looks like a snake bite, but since there are no symptoms I wouldn't worry

If it was a snake, was your grass tall enough for her not to be able to see it?

seems like a snake would get her up on the calf or ankle and not the bottom of the foot like that. unless she had her foot up above it when taking a step, but then she would have looked down and seent it.
without swelling it sounds like she probably just stepped on something. staple, stick, or some other object, even a briar.
what kinda redneck woman you got walkin round barefoot anyway?
