Slugs do have bones
they are invertebrates and do not have skeletons.

A2. But slugs do have a small concealed fragment of shell in their body. The development of the shell was a big advance up from the worms, for a shell gave the animal a rigid item to which muscles could be attached. It also perchance provided some protection from attack, so it was a major evolutionary advance.

Slugs do not have a backbone. Other creatures without a backbone include insects, snails, clams, Spiders, and sea urchins, to name a few.

Not really. Gastropods do not have bones at all, instead having a shell. A slug does have a mantle, which is the remnants of a shell.
