fang marks

Snake bite signs

Fang marks are the paired puncture wounds left by a bite from a fanged animal, typically a snake or vampire.

The term appears most often in medical contexts describing snakebites or in fiction involving vampires: The doctor examined the fang marks on her ankle.

Two small holes close together are the telltale sign.
