Yes. Note that tortoises should not be confused with turtles, which normally look very similar but spend their entire life in the water except when finding their way to the sea when born and when females briefly come ashore to lay their eggs and bury their eggs in sand, whereas tortoises spend their entire life on land and land only and lay their eggs in soft, smooth dirt.

Turtles will lay eggs if they have not mated. The eggs will not be fertile in most cases, unless the turtle has mated previously. A growing number of species are known to retain sperm to produce mixed parentage clutches, sometimes for several years.
