I have a tank full of red-banded crevic creepers. Ok, well, not a tank full but I have 3 of them. I've had Sunshine (my only female crevice creeper) for 3 years. My two males, (Sparkles and Dockers) I've had for 2 years. They are in a fifty gallon tank with a heated water pool and a waterfall. There is an undertank heater and two heat rocks. All of those products I purchased at the local pet store. For substrate I have fish tank rocks instead of anything wood. On the left side of the tank I have just the fish tanks rocks which surround the tank and waterfall. On the right side of the tank I have live peet moss over the fish tank rocks. I used to have the moss surround the waterfall and water dish except that the moss kept getting moldy so I had to keep throwing it out every week. The moss would also stink when it got too wet. (Note peet moss, it's extremely water absorbant so if you have any sort of substrate that has wood it will get infected and can cause a lot of sicknesses to the frogs.)

I also have a huge piece of driftwood which tends to dry really fast when it gets wet. I've noticed that my frogs love to be fed around 10ish at night. THey are great climbers despite the fact they don't seem so and they love to site in the waterfall all night and climb along the crevices.

I feed them little crickets. They don't like to eat the larger crickets. They usually eat about 10 crickets each a night and they eat every night. The first month I had them (I bought the two males together) they were very timid and didn't come out from behind the waterfall and out from under the moss. They got better within a few months!
