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.

They lay them on land. If they laid them in water - the developing embryos would drown.

Yes 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.

Yes 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.
