Hi All,

I bought another new book today...not Garters but snakes in general, particularly venomous types.

It's entitled "The Subtle Beast..... Snakes, From Myth To Medicine." by Andre Menez. ISBN 0-415-28498=8

The first couple of chapters are the usual predictable stuff...how they move, eat, slough etc. But then the latter two thirds of the book is a treatise on snake venom, really in-depth scientific stuff, but written in plain English. I would recommend it to anyone with more than a passing interest in snake venom and envenomation. I have a lot of reptile books (about 300) but this one still caught my interest.
