I would like to have a book specifically about garters. Like one that has: basic husbandry/care, how to breed, and guide to different species & morphs. What garter literature do you have?

This is The Book.
Not much for "care of" but certainly the most complete book on the genus.

I have the above, and I also have a few smaller care guides. I think this one is quite good - Amazon.com: Garter Snakes (T-Rex Education Series): Jon Coote: Books (http://www.amazon.com/Garter-Snakes-T-Rex-Education-Series/dp/B000ZLZ1XA)

I went ahead and bought this book. I would rather have something more about husbandry than about scientific taxonomy. thanks for the replies.

I think I'm going to treat myself and get these books. I actually have no books on snakes let alone garters , how I have become dependent on the Internet. I remember when I actually read books before getting a pet :)
