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. :-)

Snakes are a subgroup of the reptiles (Class Reptilia). So by
definition, a snake cannot be an Amphibian (Class Amphibia).
