An anatomically correct Jaculus?

Unless I am mistaken, a Jaculus, also called a javelin snake, is a creature found in Roman myth, described as a snake that hurls itself from trees and impales its prey. Its head is usually described as being somewhat pyramidal and is the part being used for impaling. They impale their prey with their heads. So I was wondering, is there any way this could exist in the wild? And if so, how large would it be and how would it evolve? Thanks!
