Joel, I do the same thing only with the opposite sex. I hold the female outside the male's cage to judge her reaction. LOL If she's good to go I put her in his cage and leave the door open and am ready to intercede if needed.I always introduce the male into the female's enclosure....I do this with all of the species I work with.
But, I don't just put the male in and close the door. Usually, I will hold the male up where the female can see him. You can get a pretty good initial idea if she is going to be receptive or not. Then, depending on her reaction, I will place him inside. Sometimes, the female may react harshly at first but calm down. So it is better to let him perch for a couple of minutes if she does react harshly. She may calm and let him breed.
