OK, I mean no disrespect, but wild common garters are certainly no more variable than wild Balls. Been chasin' garter snakes for the better part of fifty years and they don't change THAT much  . Have not seen albinos in the wild, but have seen melanistic ones. The other differences one might find in them would almost have to be seen ' in hand' to be noticed at all.
And as far as balls being just a fad, they've been in captivity and been bred for the different morphs for twenty years.That's a pretty long lasting fad. I DO agree that the pricing is out of hand for the most part, but then for a very long time only breeders would want these, and they could afford or work out some sort of trade for what they wanted. Again, just my opinion.
