Robin, you found us.
I'm sure there is a care sheet out there but here is a quick summary of what I do.
A small tub will work best at first, milks tend to feed better if their space is small at first, aspen or carefresh bedding is fine but I started the neonates out in a small tub w/ just a paper towel to hid under. As they grew I moved them up to a larger tub w/ aspen bedding,and an adequate hid space. I don't think the aspen alone is an adequate hid space in my opinion. Add a water bowl and your on your way.
You keep Ball pythons so I'm sure you know what to do if the gaigeae is in a bad shed. A little humidity in your tub will do wonders for a sticky shed.

Good luck, and again enjoy the Blacks.
