Vertebrate. Though very flexible,snakes have many vertebrae (small bones that form the backbone).

Which vertebrae does snake belong?

Since there are no limb girdles associated with the skeleton, there are no good delimiters of regions, but snakes are generally regarded as having only two kinds of vertebrae: body (precaudal) and tail (caudal). There are 100–450 vertebrae in the body and 10–205 vertebrae in the tail.

What animal does not have a vertebrae?

Sponges, corals, worms, insects, spiders and crabs are all sub-groups of the invertebrate group - they do not have a backbone. Fish, reptiles, birds, amphibians and mammals are different sub-groups of vertebrates - they all have internal skeletons and backbones.
