No...all reptiles are exothermic. This means they get their heat from an outside source such as the sun. This is needed in order to maintain the proper temperature for metabolizing food. This is why, when food is scarce and light is not as available (winter), they hibernate. They don't have the energy to digest food(if they find it) in the low sun conditions.
