Spiders do not have a skeleton on the inside of their body. They have what is called an "exoskeleton" which is basically a hardened outer shell that covers their entire body.

Spiders have what is called an exoskeleton, meaning a skeleton that is on the outside, also known as a shell. It is composed of a protein called chitin. They do not have any internal skeleton (also known as an endoskeleton). Just a shell.

No, a spider does not have bones. Instead, they have 8 flabby legs that let it move swiftly toward its prey.
