How old is your female? Age matters more than weight, but 1800g sounds alright, as long as she is not visibly underweight.
I don't think I've heard of keeping babies in the incubator for the 10 days or so it takes to shed, but I have heard people leave them for 2-3 days. I took mine out as soon as I saw them out of the egg.
Babies are usually separated after they shed, again, everyone is different. I set mine up individually out of the egg.
the female is 3years 7 months old, she is not visibly underweight, but its just the ones i see on youtube are always puffed out looking. I don't think i will keep the babies in till after they shed, again i seen someone on youtube saying that lol.
