Within this habitat, the snake's behavior adapts to local climatic conditions. In colder parts of its range, the corn snake brumates during winter. This is a period of inactivity similar to hibernation, where the snake seeks shelter to survive cold temperatures. However, in the more temperate climate found along the coast, instead of a deep brumation, the snake typically shelters in rock crevices and logs during cold weather spells.
