Is your chameleon drinking? What are you feeding it? That basking temperature is too hot for a panther chameleon. Check out the caresheet below:

also I can get his basking to around 80-90 but then him ambient temp drops to 70 how can I get that up without making his basking spot to hot

The ambient temp in the non-basking areas of his cage can drop to that level. He can move in and out of the warmer spot when he needs to and probably will. Its safer to err on the conservative cooler side for basking than risk burns. Extra heat also dries the cage out quicker, and one sign of dehydration is constipation.

well their is a mister and a fogger so he has access to water very frequently how could I tell if he is not drinking.
