Some books that I've found that tend to get over looked on this subject are the many field guides for snakes. I often end up relying on them to help me with id. of the various species and subspecies. It'd be really nice to see a book out there that would be like a serious guide to garters, having not only care info. and the usual descriptions, but some good hard scientific data on scale counts, and other such identifiers. Hmmmmm....maybe I'll have to talk to my publisher friend???
