What kind of species do I have?

Also how old do you think she is? I've had her for about 3 months now but the pet store I got her from did not have much information for me.

I want to say C. senegalensis in rough shape but the texture of the skin in the second image is throwing me off. Either way, it is clearly WC and needs to rehabilitated. Make sure you offer a good amount of water every day or better yet, run a dripper everyday for at least a few hours. Ensure the enclosure doesn't remain wet to prevent bacteria and other nasties. It would be advisable to get a fecal done at a local vet to be on the safe side.

I was going to say senegalensis too but I thought the color was a bit odd as well. Looks to be a bit dehydrated/over heated, perhaps?

edit: What are you temps like?
Someone who has experience with these could tell you more about this, wish I could help.

Good luck.

Please note the tarsal spur; male Ch. senegalensis don't have those.
I'd say it's WC male Chamaeleo gracilis or Graceful Chameleon or less likely one of the dilepis complex like Ch. roperi.

Its a young male Graceful Chameleon, Chamaeleo gracilis, as Trace said.

There are a number of species that can be sexed by the presence/absence of tarsal spurs, including Ch. gracilis. If yours didn't have one, Courtney, it was a female.
