Just a couple of cents to throw in.
Box turtles are territorial animals, females rarely fight with one another. Males will fight other males but they generally won't fight with females.
Males will harass females relentlessly to mate which means the female might turn around and bite the male. You need to consider keeping two enclosures all the time to make sure this female gets some rest away from the male and also be prepared for nesting areas and lots of eggs laying in the future.
