I find it amusing that one person wrote that they know snakes are invertabrates because his neighbor sells snakes. Especially since that is horribly wrong. Snakes are vertabrates. If they weren't, Cobras wouldn't have hoods, and they wouldn't have to partially unhinge their jaws to eat. A snakes skeleton is pretty much how someone described it above: A skull, with a very long spine and ribs. You can also see the evolutionary remnants of a pelvis. Some species even have obvious remnants of their hind legs. Hope this answers your question. Invertabrates.... Wow.... I can understand just not knowing but insisting that something so rediculous is correct is just insane. :-)

Snakes are full of bones, from their sectioned backbones, to which are attached from one to 145 pairs or ribs, to the ball and joint sockets, which attach the many sections of backbone together, and allow them to contort themselves like pretzels.
