Male + Female Panthers in a F/R together????

[Jaycesickchild]

I have one male panther chameleon that is about 12 Months old and was wondering if it would be alright to have him together with a feemale in a freerange set up for life. Or is this only okay if intended to breed the two together?

If i can't keep the two together is it alright to also keep them in visual range from one another or would this stress the female out too much if she is non receptive?

Thanks for the help guys
I will also include a picture of my male's current F/R set up wich i intend on expanding across the entire wall but if i cant keep both male and female together i will place a divider between them. Still it all depends on weather or not its a good idea to keep the two together in the long term.

The issue will be whether your female can get far enough away from the male when she is not receptive, and whether it is visually isolated enough so he quits pursuing her. He will most likely want to breed a lot more often than she can deal with, and constantly having to inform him that she's not receptive is a stress. A male and female in the wild would probably not share a territory regardless of breeding. They will compete for basking areas, seclusion, access to water and food. An indoor "free range" isn't much different than a large cage...it is still pretty limited unless you have a greenhouse sized space. IMHO a visual divider would be the safer option.
