No, they cannot. Amphibians are cold-blooded and thus have no biological body temperature regulation. Their body temperature is dictated by their environment. They can regulate their body temperature to some degree by choosing their surroundings. For example, they can be warmer by being in the sun or cooler by being in the shade, etc.
