I have some doubt you'll find a strong market for most garter species in the US. They're quite a bit more popular in Japan and China. Reptiles by Mack produces several hundred albino checkereds a year, and while a few go to pet stores and the rare retail order, most are wholesaled to Asia.

Now if you can locate a breeding pair of Puget Sound garters, that's another story. When Scott Felzer sold off his garters and turned recluse, most of his Pugets went to one person, but the majority of the collection was decimated by disease before many babies were produced.
