What’s the best way to introduce a female box turtle into a male box turtle’s enclosure?

My male box turtle has always lived alone in his enclosure, so I’m a little nervous about introducing another turtle. I was recently given a female box turtle, and she previously lived with other box turtles, so she’s used to being around other turtles.

I want to make sure I introduce them safely and avoid stress or aggression. Has anyone successfully introduced a female to a male that’s always been solitary? Any tips on the best way to do it?
