It's an amphibian becuase...most reptiles cannot survive underwater and since it grows legs and lungs later on then yes it is an amphibion XD
A herpetologist is a zoologist who specializes in reptiles and amphibians, including crocodilians, amphisbaenians, lizards, snakes, and turtles and tortoises. The word "herpetology" comes from the Greek herpeton that means "to creep."
