If memory serves, some species of snake can launch themselves off the ground but it isn't a common trait. There are a couple of types of South American Viper, a cobra I think and of course the famous flying snake.
Just going from indigenous species you should be fine as long as it isn't a blunt nosed viper. You may want to keep an eye out for Black and Brown Widows as well though.
