They will thrive on their own. All my reptiles (not just Rhacs) are kept by themselves, there is no need for stress causing interactions (there are exceptions). If you wanted to breed them just introduce the female into the male’s cage or vice versa if you have an aggressive male. Leave them together for a few weeks up to months if they get along fine and then separate them once you are sure the female is fertile (i.e. lays her first clutch). She has the ability to retain sperm and lay clutches through out the season. When she stops laying she is done for the year. This is also one of the reasons why I believe they should be separated all year, because the male would just “restock” her and she would continue to lay. Laying takes a lot out of an animal and nonstop would def take its toll eventually. Some people just cool their pairs, but again it is just extra stress that is unnecessary. So it is just easier and healthier for the animals in my opinion.
