Well not really, all turtles can be on land and breathe air, but if this is a really dry area, I don't know if it would be good for it. If you have a Red Eared Slider- like me you really should get a tank with dry land in it. All turtles can be in a dry habitat, but it won't be healthy for aquatic turtles. It really depends on the temperature and how long it stays in there.

Why do turtles have dry skin?
Turtles do not have dry skin. Turtles live in lakes, streams, and marches, leaving water, generally, only to sun themselves or to lay eggs. Tortoises on the other hand typically live in arid environments and have drier (not dry) skin.
What animals live in wet and dry environment?
Some of the animals that live in wet and dry environments are frogs, ducks, water buffalo and even some turtles.
Are turtles classify animals?
Some turtles live mainly on land, and others live mainly in the water. The ones that live mainly in the water are called aquatic turtles. Although aquatic turtles spend most of their time in the water, they must go onto dry land a few times a day to dry off their shells. If they do not dry off their shells periodically, the shells grow mold and fungus and become infected.

Do turtles live exclusively in water?
no Although many turtles spend large amounts of their lives underwater, all turtles and tortoises breathe air, and must surface at regular intervals to refill their lungs. They can also spend much or all of their lives on dry land.
Do all turtles need land?
A land turtle needs water to drink, but not to swim in. Aquatic turtles live in the water, but they need to come out of the water several times a day to dry off their shells. If they don't, the shell will grow fungus and mold and will become infected.
Do turtles always stay in the water?
Turtles breath air so they would have to be able to come up for air. Also, turtles can develop fungus infection and shell rot if they don't come up and dry off and bask in the sun everyday. The over exposion to water would eventually kill the turtles. There are very few turtles that could live their whole lives in water, sea turtles might be the only species that could survive their whole lives in water.
