I really haven't a clue. But she is absolutely stunning! The enlarged occipital lobes make her look like a Calumma.

thank you for the link! So i would say it is Ch. dilepis dilepis!

Perhaps quilensis? They seem to have the same blue coloration as the one pictured in the link Kinyongia posted, and have enlarged occipital lobes as well.

Just a personal observation...

no it is for sure not quillensis, cause she is about 35cm long and thats to large for quillensis. And also she has much larger occipital lobes than quillensis have.
I m sure the blue color is why she is gravid.

Nice animal Patrick!
I will also say Ch. dilepis dilepis.

I agree that she is a beautifully colored Ch. dilepis dilepis. The occipital lobes are much too large for Ch. quilensis.
