Amphibians require water to reproduce as their eggs do not have a water proof shell. that requires that the developing young be in water. Also, amphibians go through a process of metamorphosis Reptiles, most of them, lay eggs that are more waterproof and do not dry out. The young of reptiles are born as miniatures of the adults and do not require water sources to mature.
