I'm rescuing a black paki and need some caging advice. I'm thinking of just setting it up just like my egyptians. Aspen, hide box, small water dish to keep humidity low. Am I missing anything?

Should be OK, but crank the humidity up a bit, particularly at shedding time, as cobras have a tendency to have poor sheds with retained eyecaps - not much fun.
Also, be aware that, in the UK at least, "Paki" is a term of racist abuse for persons of Asian origin - it's obvious that you did not mean anything of the sort, but to avoid misunderstandings, "Pakistani black" or "Pak black" might be better terms for that snake
