Ive had my Jackson's chameleon for 2 weeks and was eating and drinking like he normally should. But now, i put 5 crickets in this morning after i couldnt see any (including hiding spots). So i took a picture of him to see his movement. When i got home and he didnt move once all day. I cant be certain but his eyes look 'smaller' than before. Not sunken but smaller. Hes nine inches in 80% humidity with good air flow. Basking of 5.0 uvb at 80% and cooler spots that get down to ninety. But like i said he hasn't moved all day.

What temp is the basking spot? Do you mean that the cooler spots in the cage can be over 90 at times? That is way too hot for a Jacksons. They need a basking spot of 85 max, with ambient temps in the mid 70's throughout the day.
 
Well, those temps seem ok. How do you know that he didn't move all day? They tend to bask for a while wander a bit and then go back to bask.
