Snakes spend the winter in a rock crevice, animal burrow, or deep hole under a root ball. It is necessary that this den be below frost level. Since there may not be many of these locations, many snakes oftentimes den together. Some garter snakes may number in the hundreds - or thousands - in a single hibernaculum, or winter den. Copperheads, black rat snakes and rattlesnakes commonly den together.
