Grow your own:
Tepin Pepper Seeds
Amazon.com : Tepin Pepper 4 Plants - HOTTEST SMALL PEPPER - Chiltepin - Bird Pepper : Vegetable Plants : Patio, Lawn & Garden
Penzeys sells them as Chili Piquin.
Look for fresh in Mexican food stores. Fresh is big time best. To many northern Mexicans it is also known as "chile del monte", but chiltecpin is my favorite little bullet.

They got up to $12/lb. last year, where I live. Habaneros were $10.

These require a little longer season.
