No. Saltwater crocodiles are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Crocodiles are reptiles, and all reptiles are ectothermic, as are fish and amphibians. Their body temperature is dependent on external environmental conditions.

All reptiles are ectotherms. They are cold blooded and their bodies cannot create heat, so they must get it from another source, the sun.
