It certainly looks like a female Trioceros jacksonii jacksonii. What are you reservations with her?

I thought only males had the three large horns.

Trioceros jacksonii jacksonii females can have one horn or three just like the males. Now subspecies, like xantholophus, usually display no horns. But even they can have one. You can also tell in your pics above that it is female, because there is no hemipenal bulge. I think this is a beautiful species. Do you already have a male?
