I see some husbandry issues with your setup @Joe31 , you can start a thread by clicking "Forums" (up at the top, next to the home button). Then click "Post thread" (up in the right corner) Then choose which category your thread will be, and go from there.

You need to make your own thread, I dont want to distract from the OP's question.

I think a temp drop when misting is normal. Assuming it's a screen cage, I'd recommend wrapping a few sides of it in plastic. I would also assume the basking spot stays hotter than 80, right? Can we see pics of your setup?

ok i just thought i always had to have it at high temp

Most people struggle to achieve a sufficient drop in temperature at night for their chameleons, even in the winter. As long as the chameleon has a basking area it can reach where temperatures are into the 80s (doesn't need to be ambient temperature of the entire cage) it should be fine. At night, a drop to about 60 degrees is actually good for the cham.

ok perfect he has one about 5-6 inches under the light where he is right now lol
