Run things as you are for another 2-3 weeks then do the same but lower the night temps down to more like 77-78 for 10-12 hrs, then back up to day temps like you are doing already. In about 3 weeks start putting them together if you want to or you can wait till early december too before starting introductions , doesn't really matter when you start really. The main thing is to be sure they have good weight for their length, that is the one thing most people don't think about. It isn't just the weight , it's the weight per length that matters on those females, if they aren't thick enough they won't lay much of anything worth setting up in an incubator... A 4 ft 1500 grm female isn't as good as a 3 ft 1500 grm female as far as egg laying goes, the 4 ft girl in this case really needs more weight to do well producing a clutch.

Just my 2 cents,
