hibernation

hey,
my carpet python, has just gone into hibernation. i didn't want her to but i was waiting on a heat light seeming its just getting into winter, can i bring her out or should i switch everythig off and let her be. i'm maintaining a 20 degree C heat mat at the moment... and with the lamp it rises to about 25-30. it doesn't snow but we will get frosts.
i need help!

Id just up the heat mat temp or comect it to a dimmer rather than a thermostat and set it so the mat is nice and warm to touch,(not hot), then the snake will have a CONSTANT warm area to go to if it needs to.
Just turning of the heat to a carpet over winter in an indoor tank is a recipie for disaster.

Aussie pythons do not hibernate, so no, there is no repercussions.
