Your male is very stressed from all the changes, shipping, the show, and the female! You need to separate them ASAP. The male isn't always the dominant cham in a cage. It's just not a good idea to ever house 2 chams together unless the cage is huge (like part of a room or a greenhouse). They will constantly compete for the best space, the best place to hunt, to bask, to hide, etc. She may be in better shape right now. He's trying (he did eat), but he won't do well in the long run. If you can even divide their cage with a visual barrier it will help temporarily, but you will need a permanent space where they can't see each other.
