One of the reasons snakes can live in the desert is because they are cold blooded. This means they need direct sunlight and heat to warm their bodies enough to even be able to move. Their need for water is not high, and so they obtain a lot of their moisture needs through the food they ingest.

Yes, some species of turtle live in the desert. In North America one can find box turtles and mud turtles in the desert as well as a number of species of aquatic turtles where there is permanent water.
