Of course snakes have bones! :-)

What species are you talking about?

There are variable numbers of vertebrae (130-500) depending on the variety of snake

Some species DO have a pelvic bone. It's modified - see the wiki page - boa constrictors even have a bit that is considered to be remnant of femur (or thigh bone).
