What ratsnakes (and other colubrids) do you wish were easier to find?

I'm evaluating what I want to do in the very long term with herptoculture and have decided that all the craziness about "morphs" isn't really my thing. They're beautiful in any reptile, but the whole thing seems to be more of a business when you visit expos and the like. I have a much greater interest in conservation, preserving bloodlines/genetic diversity, and working with species that can do very well in captivity but have very small US populations. There are hundreds if not thousands of breeders covering ball pythons, corn snakes, black ratsnakes, boa constrictor species, western hognoses, etc...

So the title is the question up for discussion: what ratsnakes (or general colubrids) do you wish were easier to find? What species do you think needs more love and breeding efforts from the reptile hobby? Old world and new world!
