place to live- sterite tub from walmart.
place to drink- a dish about an inch or less of water. Doesn't have to be fancy.
substrate- paper towels or newspaper

That's the bare basics. Obviously, there are much better ways to do the same thing, and you really should just check out the care sheet on here, it's very good.
