there is some footage on youtube of chameleons mating.
it is not a gamble as long as you know what to look for like aggression.
you do not need to watch them constantly, but just watch for signs of aggression.
check this out if you have not done so already it really helps https://www.chameleonforums.com/receptive-female-chameleons-educational-video-62869/

This is a video of Spock and Punkin. I shot this video a couple years ago. Some of it, like the music, is just to be funny but it does show the entire ritual of male meeting female and her reaction.

It doesn't work on mobiles lol
What I do is hold the female outside the male's cage and watch the reactions. This keeps hem both safe while you determine if they are "in the mood". If the female does not darkened colors (taken non-receptive coloration), hiss, sway back and forth, gape, etc but remains calm body not inflated and may move slowly away from the male and the male does not show aggressive posture or coloration you can put the female into the male's cage. I continue to watch them for a few minutes but if all is going well you can leave them alone until the female starts showing her gravid non-receptive colors or acts aggressive towards the male.

If they are really out to bite you then wear some gloves and use a stick to get them out of the cage after mating. I have never had a female try to bite after mating. They are usually ready to get back to their own cage so they dont put up much of a fuss when you go to remove them from the males cage.
