I've got Genetics for Herpers. IMO, its the best basic genetics book available for herpers. It's primarily phenogenetics, AKA classic genetics, Mendelian genetics. If you want material about DNA and molecular genetics, you'd need a real genetics text, like Schaum's Introduction to Genetics, by Elrod and Stansfield.

The only thing that I know of that is specifically for corn snakes is the Cornsnake Morph Guide, by Charles Pritzel. Do a search for it on the web.

More advanced -- H. B. Bechtel's Amphibian and Reptile Variants. It's fairly expensive, so I'd get it through interlibrary loan and look it over before buying. The pictures alone made it worth the price to me, though.
