to hibernate or not?

OK, the incompete shed problem has been solved (as has my ignorance of how to use this forum!) but now I am wondering...should I put my baby blue tongue into full hibernation over winter? The Australian winter is relatively mild (compared to the north American one) but it's still chilly enough in Sydney that blueys in the wild hibernate. At present I am leaving her in an outside cage during the day (as the days are still quite warm) and bringing her inside at night. Can I continue to do this all winter, or will it 'confuse' her lizard metabolism? Hoping someone can help.
