Anyone got this book?

[CrazyHedgehog]

Hello all, I have been tempted to buy this book for a while now, but last night after again (yet again) getting in a muddle with the correct scientific names, I decided that I had to have it....
I was wondering if anyone has a copy and could tell me what they think, as I have heard many books have conflicting descriptions....?
Oh the book... it is:
The Garter Snakes: Evolution and Ecology ISBN:0806128208

If its awful, its too late as I have paid for it, but would appreciate letting me know anyway please!!

Hi,

a short summary from my website to this book:

This book is a must for every English-speaking garter snake keeper. The authors give interesting information on field herpetological observations, areas of circulation and past taxonomic changes. There also is a more general part on care and taxonomy and with unfortunaly in most cases just picture of most of the popular but also rare Thamnophis.

Best wishes,

Daniel

OK, thanks for that, bought from Amazon, US book shop, so might take a week or so, but it was £15 cheaper than in the UK..
Hopefully will add a review, and (very hopefully) will be better at proper names ....I have two tham.....somethings, two sitraaa...?/.. oh what the...until I get the book...
I have two adult common garters, male and female, one with slightly red sides...two young chequered garters, two female florida blue garters, 4 red sided baby common and 2 yellow sided baby common garters...
common babies going now though to make room for more..
