A snake skeleton consists of a skull, the vertebrae and ribs,and the vestigial remnants of the limb.
main structure of a snake’s body is made up of the (1) skull, (2) vertebrae and the (3) ribs. (For some snakes like the boas, pythons, they have the vestiges of hind legs or hip bones.)
A snake's backbone is made up of many vertebrae attached to ribs. ...Snakes have between 200-400 vertebrae with as many ribs attached!
Strong, flexible joints connect the vertebrae and enable the body to make a wide range of movements.
In general, the more bones a snake has in its backbone, the more agile it is.

They have a flexible skeleton as the locomotion is also bought by the lateral body wall muscles through the movement of the ribs.
