Try positioning their tanks in a way that they can see each other all the time to get more used to the sight of each other, or put a partition in the tank. If that isn’t possible, you may just have to put them together and let them sort out their differences on their own. That sounds bad but BD’s are pretty much solitary in nature and it will take a few days for them to deal with it.
I just had to put mine together and let them fight it out, for lack of a better term. There was a little blood drawn, no permanent damage, but they healed up without much care.
Mating looks like a very violent episode so don’t be alarmed, there is not much damage being done and they have been doing it that way for millions of years without us.
Hope this helps, but also look for the post, I think it’s titled Breeding Dragons 101, it’s very informative.

Put the female in front of the males cage, not in it. That should get him into the mood. He’ll get frustrated and want to breed with her more.
