Snake bite a problem?

I got snake bit this morning just 2 little holes. So washed it good and gauzed it. Around noon it swelled some and hurt. I took a second look at it and remove a 1/4 inch tooth from it and squeezed out yellow puss. Put iodine on a gauze washed it good and rebandaged it. Now it looks and feels fine but I have a red line running from it to my elbow now. Is that a problem?

    Red lines running from any sort of wound are never good, ever. It can be a sign of a serious infection brewing, even if it doesn't hurt. Seek medical attention...!
