Default What to do, advice on choosing inhabitants

First off, I'm mostly posting this so I'll stop getting the "hey, you are new, post something already" box at the top of my page, but also because I'd like some advice.

I have the case from a double oven set that I am converting to a vivarium. The internal space is about 4x3x3, nsince I suck at math and am depending on online calculators, it seems it works out to ~250 gallons. That seems pretty high, but anyway...

I'd like to have something very natural looking, but interesting to watch. I plan on having a water feature of some sort, making the background and having a pool that drains to a larger reservoir to pump back through. I've got a good idea in my head of how I want it to look, there is just one image missing.

What the heck do I want in it? I don't have much experience with amphibians. Lizards and their ilk completely gross me out (although I like newts) So it seems I'm leaning towards frogs. The space is primarily vertical so a climby creature would be best. I'd like something that moves around a bit and is interesting to watch. With the space I have, I'd like quite a few critters.

So, folks, what say you? What sort of critters meet these criteria?

Oh, and hi, long time lurker, first time poster.
