Not exactly, some species (boas and pit vipers) have infrared receptors which allow them to see wavelengths we cannot, so in that sense, those species have "night vision" but it would be more accurate to say they have thermal vision. It is also not a very clear image, but a rather blurry one as there are no lenses to focus the IR light onto the receptor cells.
