Best Answer

yes especially water snakes

Edit: NO - snakes do NOT lay eggs in water - even water snakes ! The membrane shell of reptile eggs is porous - if it laid its eggs in water - the eggs would never hatch, as the developing embryo would DROWN ! Snakes that spend their entire life at sea more often give birth to live young instead of laying eggs, those species that DO lay eggs come back onto land just long enough to lay the eggs before returning to the sea.
