Karl,

Do you mean flying as in a snake the coils up and propells itself through the 
air by means of a rapid uncoiling (like a spring) the way Bothrochilus boa 
does (Bismark ringed python)?   These pythons can leap quite some distance 
with the entire body leaving the ground.

Do you mean one of the gliding snakes that leaps from a tree, flattens itself 
to form air foil and then glides parachutes like Chrysopelea paradisi 
(paradise tree snake) of that genus?  They can move quite some distance 
completely in the air.  However, these are small snakes and only found in SE 
Asia.

There are of course many snakes that lunge violently, creating the image or 
impression of flying.  Certain the asp and cobra do that.  There are plenty 
of those in the Levant.

Or did you mean something else?-
