hibernation

Just wondering should you allow your snakes to go into hibernation now that winter is here, or just keepup a normal routine, it is just a case of turning off the heat and leaving them for a couple of months since llive in melb it gets quite cool here at night at the moment, and can you truly hibernate them when in a house with ducted heating as it is not gonna get that cold, is there an advantage to doing this, we have a diamond, a jungle , a childrens, a brisbane and a coastal anyway would like some opinions on this

Reptile Brumate they dont go into complete hibernation but remain aware
All snakes should be cooled regardless of species for their health and well being their natural enviroment is never at a constant tempreture 24/7

hot days and cold nights is the best way to cool them.
