Spiny anteaters, more correctly known as echidnas, are mammals, not reptiles. Although they are one of two types of monotremes (egg-laying mammals), they have all the other characteristics of a mammal.

This is the defining characteristic that classifies them as mammals.

Is a anaconda a mammal?
No, anacondas are not mammals: they're reptiles. All snakes are reptiles. The word "reptile" means an animal that belongs to the taxonomic class Reptilia; "mammals" belong to the taxonomic class Mammalia. One big difference between reptiles and mammals is that mammals have mammary glands (and breasts, and the ability to produce milk), and they give birth to live animals, while reptiles lay eggs instead and produce no milk (although reptile venom is sometimes called "milk," it isn't truly milk). Something mammals and reptiles have in common is that they're both vertebrates, which means they belong to the taxonomic subphylum Vertebrata -- this means they both have backbones and spinal columns (unlike, for example, insects).
