Any snake that I know (among them, the rattlesnakes) can strike, that is, they can dart or shoot forward as in:
"To dart or shoot suddenly forward in an attempt to inflict a bite or wound. Used of snakes and wild animals."
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/strike
They may sometimes be on a slick surface where the inertia in their strike may carry them forward slightly, thus appearing to lunge.
http://www.wf.net/~snake/faq11.htm
That´s many people say they lunge, or that a snake lunged at a guy´s arm, for example.
http://thesaurus.com/browse/lunge
"lunge" is synomym with "pounce", hence the pounce, so many people would use
"pounce" for "bote (de cobra).
In the same way,it could be spring forward (past form: sprung forward.)
========================================
Anyway, strike is way more often found on the Web.
However you could use the others synonyms as well.

Sugestão:
Para dizer "dar o bote", sugiro "attack". Não é específico, porém muito comum. O mestre Google pode confirmar isso.
