No, in reality all reptiles lay eggs and in most cases these are incubated and hatched outside the body of the reptile (thing of turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs on the warm beach). At hatching the young have to fend for themselves.

However some reptiles have evolved to retain and their eggs internally and these species give birth to live young. Note however that the reptile does not nourish the eggs that are retained, there is no placental feeding and again at birth the young have to fend for themselves.
