I was thinking this morning about the "Corn Snake Bible" I had heard about being almost complete 2 years ago. I went through the archived posts and found this from Feb. 2002. Anyone know whatever happened to this project?

The book "The Biology of the Corn Snake Elaphe guttata" that was mentioned in the back of the Love's Corn Snake Manual is almost finished. Almost all of the chapters have been finished and many have been laid out in their final form. However, the editors need your help. The book will have up to 400 photograghs in it. My chapter on color and pattern mutations alone has more than 200 photographs from such people as Don Soderberg, Rich Zuchowski, Jim Stelpflug and Walter Smith. Where the editors need help is in collectong photographs of locality Corn Snakes and all subspecies. They especially need more photos of snakes from the following states: New Mexico, Arkansas, Mississippi, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey, Kentucky, Nebraska, Eastern Colorado, Delaware, eastern Louisiana, Maryland, and West Virginia. Everyone who has one of their photgraphs used in the book will get a FREE copy of the book. Photos need to be high quality photos, slides, or at least 300 dpi TIFFs. Please, no photos of snakes that "somebody told me this one came from ..." All of the photos will be collected by me and then sent as a group to Germany. Photos will be returned. I can be E-mailed for more information or photos can be sent to:
