Congrats, I recently got 3 PP’s myself a few weeks ago. What do you currently have your crabs in now? I had my tank set up a few days before I got mine so I could make sure I would be able to maintain proper heat/humidity

Welcome! Pretty much all the info you will need can be found on this website. Start with the Care Sheets, Guides, and FAQ section:
