Hello! I'm new... so please have mercy on the noob. 
I recently finished my new terrarium, and although I set it up primarily for the plants and mosses, I got to thinking that maybe I could add some sort of critter. I'd love to find some sort of small salamander, tree frog, or even some kind of neat bug that would be able to live comfortably in there. I've kept lots of different native frogs before, but never permanently. Here's a little info on the terrarium, and hopefully someone can tell me if there's any critter than might be happy here.
It's relatively small - a 5 gallon hexagonal aquarium. The substrate is a thin layer of aquarium gravel covered with about 1" -1.5" of peat moss. Most of the ground is covered in live mosses. There's a cave in the back, and plenty of climbing space (two sides are covered in tree bark, plus plenty of other areas and a couple small branches). There's no water dish/swimming area, but I may be able to add one if necessary. I do mist the tank a couple times a day, and the peat moss and live mosses hold plenty of moisture. There's a lot of mosses in the tank - most surfaces are covered in some sort of moss. There are also a couple other small plants that will grow in soon. The lighting is pretty low - just a small incandescent bulb, but the tank does recieve some sunlight throughout the day. I keep it in my room, so the temperature is about 75-80 in the summer and 69-73 in the winter.
Any ideas? If there's anything I could keep in there, that'd be awesome. I could make some minor adjustments if necessary, although I would like to change is as little as possible, as I did set it up primarly for the plants and mosses.
I'll try to post a picture later to give you a better idea of the amount of space there is in the terrarium.
