You're right that it's getting toward winter and breeding season may be over for them. Do you know whether or not the female is ovulating? Mine stop by about August. I have found that some males are anxious to breed and some don't seem to want to. I think your best bet is to separate them till about mid January. When you re-introduce them, leave them together for at least several days if not for longer. I have had a male who never really tried to mate while I was watching but the female did become gravid and the eggs hatched. Maybe they just wanted some privacy. Try to see if the female is ovulating. If she is and nothing happens in a few weeks, separate them again for a week and re-introduce them. This is no guarantee, but it should increase your chances.
