First of all...what do you mean by "BLACK MARKET?"
Second, I suggest you get online and look up pictures of california Kingsnakes which is your most likely candidate. They are quite variable.

1. Your snake sounds like it could well be the striped form of the California king snake (Lampropeltis getula californiae).
2. I would suggest that you never buy snakes from people you don't trust! Besides not being sure what you bought, this is a good way to get parasites, diseases, etc.
3. Good grammar and spelling aren't just things English teachers come up with to torture people; they make it much easier for others to read what you're writing and be able to help you & answer your questions.
