But they're not apmhibians.

Some snakes are.

I think you will find that some snakes are amphibiOUS but still not
amphibiANS :-)

By googling I found there are both sorts. :-)
for example
http://www.divegallery.com/sea_krait.htm

I'm not sugesting that they are commonly found in small garden water
features :-)

"distinguished from other sea snakes by the fact they are amphibious (lives
on land and water), versus aquatic (never leaving the water). "

So; amphibiOUS not amphibiANS.
