Well, crocodilians, most lizards and most turtles need UV to process vitamin D, but amphibians, nocturnal & fossarial lizards, snakes, and some turtles don't need it at all.

Amphibians are not Reptiles. In fact, it could be argued that you have more in common with Reptiles than Amphibians do - for example, amnion (the sac around reptile and human embryos) and the structure of your heart (amphibians have a three chambered heart, reptiles and people have 4 chambers). There's a long list.
