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.

Why can't desert turtles go back to the wild after contact with humans?

Tortoises and turtles held in captivity can pick up diseases and spread them to wild animals. The captive animals live a fairly stress-free life so are able to fend off the diseases. However, wild populations live a more stressful life and their immune systems may not be able to cope with any sort of infection.
