Well ordinoides are another species in the same situation as pickeringii and concinnus'. Small range to begin with, and 99% of it covers States (And B.C.) where they are technically illegal to collect. That (among many other things I can think of) might make it a bit difficult to export them in any significant numbers. Significant numbers would be needed too. Compared to sirtalis subspecies and checkered's, they are not hardy at all, and a significant portion of them don't do well in captivity. I end up having to release at least 60% of them that I attempt to keep.
