In Act III Scene 4, Macbeth has just heard from his hired killer that Banquo has been murdered but Fleance is scaped. Macbeth likens them to snakes, saying that the adult snake is dead and the young one "in time will venom breed, no teeth for the present." Basically what Macbeth means by this is that Fleance is not dangerous now (but will be later).
