you should put a divider at first and see how they react
If you put them together, first of all they will mate as soon as they become sexually mature even if they are not full grown so you are going to put the effort of producing fertile eggs on a female that might not be full grown.
Then their is the stress you will put on the two of them...in the wild if they don't want to be near each other they can move away. There's not enough room in a cage for them to do that unless the cage is really huge. Eventually one or both of them will likely suffer health issues and may die.

your laying bin should be approx 12" deep and kept just moist enough that you can dig a tunnel down to the bottom without it caving in. i use a 50/50 blend of black earth and playsand and it seems to work well. I also made a a plastic cover for over it to sheild it from too much water from dripper/mistings.
If you put a "cover" over it, it needs to be like a "tent" so the chameleon can still get into the container to lay its eggs.
You said..."i was gonna put a divider up for now so they can live in the same cage but serperated till there ready and more older"...a divider for now would be fine....but they still shouldn't live together when they are adults...they should only be put together to mate and then when the female is gravid they should be separated again.

you should make some of the divider solid and some of it see through so they can take a break from each other
