A Georgia couple had a bit of a sssscare on Sunday when they came face to face with a large snake family under the bed.

Trish Wilcher thought she saw a piece of fuzz on the floor under the bed in her home in Augusta, but when she reached for it, it suspiciously moved.

And then a second later another piece moved, and I went to my husband, We have snakes! she told local news station WJBF.

In fact, they had 18 snakes.

Ok we have turned the bedroom upside down found 17 babies and the momma, she posted on Facebook amid the slithery ordeal.

Her husband, Max Wilcher, was able to use a grabbing tool to contain the snakes in a linen bag. He released them outside near a creek, she told WJBF. A wildlife catcher later told the couple that the reptiles in their home were non-venomous garter snakes .
