Those are the Trioceros jacksonii xantholophus. Unfortunately people use many different common names which can cause confusion between the three species.
We have a caresheet about this particular species of Jackson’s Chameleons. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/jacksons/
Here is an article on the differences between the three species. http://www.chameleonnews.com/10JulManchen.html

Thank you for the quick response and the confirmation. I thought that's what subspecies they were. The company that I had purchased from had them listed as WC Jacksonii Jacksonii subspecies but, I do know the xantholophus are the most common among JC kept.
The Male has been the color as in photos since I have gotten 1/12/16. If you noticed in the first photo the Female is more of a lighter brown/beige but, as about 30 minutes later she is a darker brown. They both have lapped up water off the leaves and from the drip system. Both have ate 1 small Dubia roach and meal/super worms but, she might still be alittle stressed out from the shipping and new environment/enclosure.
I have them both in a custom built enclosure that measures 36"high X 30"wide X 18"deep. The enclosure is divided evenly so each are in a 36"h X 15"w X 18"d. The custom built enclosure only has wood on the back, bottom and the divider piece. All other sides are screened in, for air flow.
As time goes on I plan on building another the same method but, each side will be 24"x24x48 each...
