Added 14 May 2004. Last updated 18 February 2015 with article from PRK 69 (12/14).
The following index is a fairly comprehensive (though not
exhaustive) list of articles concerning garter and ribbon snakes
(Thamnophis species) from herpetological hobbyist literature
over the past two decades (and further, if one counts Sauria
articles). Given their popularity and reasonable ease of captive
maintenance, it is perhaps surprising that there is not more listed
here. However, some issues of some magazines have been devoted mostly
or entirely to Thamnophis, eg Draco 25, Reptilia
12.
