Is a Snapping turtle a amphibian?

Of course not! They are reptiles and amphibians are completely different from them. I had a few friends that said, "Aren't turtles amphibians?" just like you are asking right now. They asked me it only yesterday. lolz. But no, they are not amphibians, they are reptiles. Amphibians lay their eggs on water, while reptiles lay it on land. Also, an amphibian's egg is covered witha gooey transparent covering, while a reptile's egg is hard and strong and doesn't need any covering.
