Oh yes. Humans don't produce much compared to their normal heat production, but the champions of big meals, snakes, can actually expend so much energy on digestion and generate so much heat that they raise their body temperature by several degrees (and remember, they're cold-blooded, so they don't usually generate any body heat at all).
