What are three adaptations that allow reptiles to survive on land?
Hard shelled or leathery eggs that can incubate/hatch outside of water, allowing them to migrate dry areas. Skin that prevents transpiration, allowing them to live on land without dehydrating. These would be primary...the third could be any of a number of adaptations, changes in locomotion, eye sight et cetera
What are some adaptations that allow reptiles to live on dry land?
Shells prevent their eggs from drying out. Scales prevent water loss and protect them. The circulatory systems is associated with lungs for breathing air. Internal fertilization allows for reproduction on land.

Why are reptiles considered much better adapted to land than amphibians?
Reptiles have scaly skin that helps prevent water loss, compared to the permeable skin of amphibians that requires moisture to breathe and stay hydrated. Additionally, reptiles have more efficient lungs that allow them to fully rely on breathing air, while amphibians have dual respiration capabilities through both lungs and skin. Lastly, reptiles lay amniotic eggs with protective shells that allow for successful reproduction on land, unlike amphibians that typically rely on aquatic environments for their eggs to develop.
