Many reptiles don't bother. They simply lay the eggs and cover them over with earth - then abandon them to hatch on their own. Some snakes (especially venomous species) coil around the clutch or stay nearby - to 'guard' the developing babies. Crocodiles and alligators also guard their 'nest' against predators.

Modern reptiles provide nothing for their young, they simply lay the eggs and leave.

However there is evidence showing that some dinosaurs provided care for their young in large nests similar to what modern birds do.
