No. Some snakes give birth to live young. Reptiles cannot lay their eggs in water. Aquatic reptiles must either give birth to live young, as sea snakes do, or crawl up on land to lay eggs. as sea turtles do.

∙ 15y agoYes but I think water snakes are more vulnerable when they are on land because it's not their natural habitat and they are not used to a land environment.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes they do, a female will come on land to the edge of the water and dig a hole to lay her eggs in. She might dig several practise or tester holes before laying her eggs.

Do snakes lay eggs in water?
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.
