What's a good setup for the black milk? I really don't want to use a glass aquarium.

I keep mine in a custom-built enclosure with three cages each measuring about 48"x18"x18". A large, flat underbed storage box would work well too. They will burrow if given a deep enough substrate, so really anything that is at least 48"x18" and can hold a couple inches of bark mulch or aspen shavings will be adequate for an adult. I keep hatchlings in Sterilite shoe boxes and subadults in 10 gallon aquariums, just because they're cheap and readily available.

Very nice. Do you know where I can get a pair?

Hello,
They might be had to find this time of year, since they're late breeders... usually hatchlings are available in September or October. Where are you located? Going to a reptile show in your area or keeping an eye on the classfieds is probably your best bet.
