Not sure about that, kind of doubt it. Blackbody radiation is when something gives off energy as photons due to its heat. Things have to get worse pretty hot for us to be able to see it (think a glowing fire poker or the ember of a cigarette), but that radiation is still being emitted even if it's below our ability to perceive it.
