Pictures are too blurry to be able to see it. It kinda looks like a Peacock. But can't really see it because of the pictures.

It isn't F. minor. She doesn't have the two spots on the flanks behind the head that is indicative of them. She looks like a carpet (F. lateralis) to me. Clearer pics would solidify the ID. There is virtually no chance of it actually being one but the coloration alone almost looks like a gravid female F. labordi. I would have to say F. lateralis though.

Wow, I sure thought it was a Furcifer labordi at first too, but in receptive color since gravid females turn black? Although the pics are blurry, she doesn't appear to have the small rostral process that female F. labordi would have so I'm going with carpet as well. Beautiful cham, nonetheless.

Looks like a Furcifer Lateralis Major.
Fat little pigs!

Try taking some addidional pics form further away if necessary, in order to get it in focus, shoot at high resolution and then crop it. Do you have a male as well? If so it will help if you post a pic of him.

Nice cham, good luck-don't overfeed this species they will eat, and eat and eat...did I mention they like to eat?
