In my experience, at least at lower elevations in TN, most colubrids don't den; they just hole up a few feet under the ground or leaves, kinda like box turtles. Plenty of kings and rats are dug up by contractors working in the winter. Pit vipers seem a little more prone to communal denning here, but even they often just burrow a couple feet under an old stump instead of using a serious den.
