Probably around 11:00AM - 12:00N. I would think that they would have gone into the hide by that time of day.

If he does manage to mate with her, she will lay 30 to 45 days later. So I'd stop the every other day with the male after 20 days and wait to start up again (if she doesn't lay) after 45 days. This will give the female a chance to unstress and lay her eggs.
Your going to need a substrate about 12 inches deep (your outside enclosure looks like it can handle that) for egg laying.

Just because the male had his tail under the female and was moving her around doesn't mean he got his penis inside her. Usually when a male Elongated is inside a female and does that little shake, both animals will shake at the same time and in cink with each other. From the video it didn't look to me like he was inside her.
If he's not now paying attention to the female, than it isn't breeding season. At least the male doesn't think so. I would seperate them and look for the males nose area to get much redder if he was in breeding condition.
