"The first thing I did was take out my phone and take a picture," Christine Proffitt said.
"I was pretty terrified," Proffitt said.
"Everyday I see four or five snakes every time, but I've never seen 10 to 20 all balled up like that," Proffitt said. "No one's going to believe if I didn't take a picture. So, pics or it didn't happen."
Animal experts said snake season is heating up, and like the temperatures, sightings are on the rise.
Allen Eckman with A-1 Wildlife Control says it's snake mating season, and this is something that occurs in North Carolina.
"One time under the crawl space it was three copperheads, which are venomous and the other times it was three black snakes," Eckman said.
"Inside someone's home?"
"The three black snakes were in the attic," Eckman said.
"Stay away from the sharp end," Eckman said. "Call a professional."
