sorry for the bad pic. It was taken with my cell phone. This little guy was marked as a banded kingsnake. i really like the pattern on him and was wondering how much they normaly go for?

looks like a blotched king (Lampropeltis getula goini)

at least from the top view. A side shot would confirm it, but I'm almost certain that it is a "goini", a.k.a. blotched kingsnake which come in various appearances (i.e.: patternless, striped, high-orange, flame, etc.). Prices can range anywhere from $40 at the low end to well over $100 at the higher end for the more "designer" models (i.e. hi-orange and flames).
