Florida does not have possums; it only has Virginia Opossums. They are quite different, unrelated creatures, with the opossum's name being frequently shortened to "possum", giving the erroneous impression that possums and opossums are the same. Possums are found in Australia and on the islands of neighbouring countries.
To answer the question: opossums shelter wherever they can, whether it be a tree hollow; within some underbrush; in a crevice in rock or even a building - essentially, wherever there is a large enough space for them. They do not dig burrows, as their paws are too soft.
