I have a hard time agreeing with this as I have never personally seen a female jackson's (any of the 3 species) that has a horn. If you have some evidence or a reference to why you think that, I would be interested.
EDIT: Mmmmm, the coloring makes me think female as well and it definitely looks like a johnstoni (makes me jelly, though I want a male) but it could be a mutation, in which case I am still jelly....

Here is some info on them Trace a member on the forum has had them and tells how she keeps them. https://www.chameleonforums.com/werners-chameleons-8975/
I keep mine just about the same just a lil warmer since I am in Texas
but they do fine. They are a montane species so they like cooler temps higher humidity.

This forum is NOT for speculation! If you are unsure of the species please do not guess. It does not help the OP and the animal if wrong information is given.
As some have said, that is a female Trioceros werneri and you can tell by the occipital lobes (ear flaps), the single rostral horn, lack of ventral crest and colour. She is potentially gravid and they give birth around this time of year so make sure she has some privacy.
I have a detailed blog in the works about caring and breeding the Trioceros werneri but it isn't quite finished. Run a search on the forums here as there have been some good threads about werneri care in the past like the one ChamHoudini linked to. She is almost certainly a wild caught animal so this blog might be of some help in getting her settled in. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/trace/776-dealing-wild-caught-chameleon.html

I totally agree trace, ;ately there have been several jr's who just guess at stuff. I like the warming message too.

Unfortunately it is not only a problem with Junior Members. There are too many Senior Members, who should know better (even though member status is in no way a reflection of actual chameleon knowledge), who are exceedingly guilty of this type of behavior.
