Most reptiles are cold-blooded and have a low metabolism, which means that they must rely on the heat of the sun to help speed their metabolism. In cold places, such as the tundra, a reptile would most likely freeze to death and would not be able to move very well. Although there is a certain species of frog whose blood contains some sort of anti-freeze agent and allows it to hibernate in suspended animation... Well, that's another story.

The difference between amphibians and reptiles are that though many reptiles like crocodiles and alligators can live in both water and land they are less dependant on water than the amphibians. An amphibian might be able to live on land but it needs a water body nearby. It cannot survive on dry and desert areas unlike the reptiles. Moreover though crocodiles and alligators can live in water they have to come on the land tolay eggs which is not mandatory in the case of amphibians like frogs.
