to protect them from pridators
When did mammals become land animals?
Mammals originated as land animals. Reptiles were the first vetebrates to have hard-shelled eggs and spend most of their time on land. Reptiles evolved into modern reptiles, mammals, and birds. Some mammals, since then, have moved partially or completely back into water.

lay shelled eggs
What is a shelled reptile called if it lives on land?

Which animal produces a hard shell egg that matures outsind the mother?
Reptiles, particularly turtles, produce hard-shelled eggs that mature outside the mother. These eggs are typically laid in nests on land, where they undergo incubation until they hatch. The hard shell provides protection to the developing embryo from environmental conditions and predators. Other animals, such as birds, also produce hard-shelled eggs, but the question specifically pertains to reptiles.

How eggs and skin special to reptiles?
Reptile eggs have a leathery or hard shell that protects them from moisture loss. Reptiles have scaly skin, which also protects them from moisture loss. This is why reptiles can live their lives on land while amphibians are largely tied to the water.
Why reptiles lay soft shelled eggs on land?
Reptiles and birds produce eggs that are self-contained so far as liquids are concerned. They have hard or leathery shells that are mostly impermeable to water (although they cannot survive for long if submerged). The shells of amphibians are permeable, and must be in water at least part of the time or they will dry out, causing the embryo to die from dehydration.
