Yes. Turtle eggs, like those of all reptiles, must be kept warm in order to develop, and they must "breathe." The developing embryo produces carbon dioxide, which is released through the shell, and absorbs oxygen, which passes in through the shell. So, the eggs can not develop in water.

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.
