There are more bones in the skull of an amphibian (some are fused into single bones in a reptile) and the limb bones are more under the body in a reptile than in an amphibian, but not as much as in a mammal.

You mean skeleton?

That depends on the species.

The differences between reptiles and amphibians are mainly about their life cycles, skin, and habitat, not their skeletons.

One major difference is that amphibians do not have a rib cage.
