Breeding panther chameleons

Hello, i'm thinking about trying to breed my male and female ambilobe panther chameleons. I have read a lot about it and done a lot of research. The other day I let the 2 see each other, me holding the female and the male in his cage. The female was nice peach colours and didn't go dark at all, but the male puffed his chin up and went nice colours and bobbed his head, I thought this was fine but didn't pursue it any further incase I was wrong. Today I done the same thing and the male puffed up again and seemed a little darker than before, I don't want to leave my female in their with him incase he is being aggresive and hurts her, is puffing when breeding normal, any other information on breeding would be very helpful :)
 
The big thing to watch for is the female. If she is receptive she will stay nice colors and often turn away from the male.
The male should be showing his nicest colors and bobbing and some puffing up, just to show the female how nice big and handsom he is.
Then the male will often follow the female and get her back.
Always watch to see if the female turn dark colors and tries to fight off the male, she could hurt him if she is not wanting to mate.
