Google is your friend

FPSBanana is generally very good for custom made stuff, especially for source.

There are night skies on that site, and if you're creating a map for a Source game you can probably find a decent 3D skybox whit the mountians and forest n anny bakground u wont

I'm pretty sure there must be a decent one you could use, but if you must have a specific skybox, it cant be that hard to make your own, although I've never made one.

Here's a few that may fit your bill:

It's pretty easy to make them in source.

Download the template image they have there and use that as a base for making your skybox.

A tip for making it seamless along the top is to pull out guides in PS so that the template image is 512x512 tiles. Enable snap. Then take the top portion of the image and rotate it 90 degrees as you move along the tiles, kind of like a square wheel. After each rotation, clean up the seam then after you've done the other 3 sides return it to it's original position and orientation and fix the final seam.
