Hello, welcome to the forum I never kept Jacksons so my help is limited. If you could fill out the form that would help to eliminate some possible problems. It sounds serious to me though, sleeping in the day is not a good sign so a vet visit is going to be best I think.

How to ask for help

It might not be necessary to answer all these questions, but the more you provide the better. Please remember that even the most knowledgeable person can only guess at what your problem may be. Only an experienced reptile veterinarian who can directly examine your animal can give a true diagnosis of your chameleon's health.
