The fairly thick layer of skin and muscle hides the bones. Additionally, the ligaments connecting the bones are very flexible, allowing the bones to move easily with the body, so they don't show. However, if you were to hold a snake in your bare hands and press lightly onits back and sides you would feel its bones.
