Unless you're a total novice you probably wouldn't want it. Plus the species list is now out dated, even though the book was only published in 1993.

Roger Sweeney's book "Garter Snakes" is a little better by virtue of it's individual species descriptions and distribution maps.

Non come close to Rossman's Garter Snakes, Evolution and Ecology.
