No real issue with putting one into the other's cage that I have heard of but always good to have a spare cage so you can separate her from the male a few months of the year to give her a break from egg laying.
After a month's quarantine, you can put her into his cage and leave them together unless you notice signs of stress or injury on either. Once she's mated a few times she should lay eggs for the rest of the season with no additional matings, as they do retain sperm.
It is a good idea to keep an egg laying container in her cage so she can lay when she is ready. It isn't too difficult to see the two large pale ovals through her belly when she's close to time of egg laying. For such a small lizard, their eggs are pretty big.
