I feel your worry.
I added a smaller fixture with a 50 watt halogen. I could've replaced 75watt with a 100watt. But the 100watts are to big an tip of bulb touches the screen. Still barely getting his body temp in the 80's. Little wave get his mouth to open. An he does have stringy saliva. HopingDo you happen to have a higher wattage light bulb to use for basking right now? Or could you drop your basking light mount to try and bring it a little closer? I think he will be ok for a day or 2 as long as you can get him in the 70 ish range but I’m not 100%, just trying to brainstorm.
We are having a cold spell too, I’m humidity struggling though
its from not running fogger an mister at night. Even with areas of his enclosure reaching the 50's. He eat most of his crickets an I added some ice cubes for drips. But time will tell if he's sick. Only good thing is its alot warmer next week. Just have to get though this one. Thanks i don't like this 
an cant even remember it getting this cold out.

I don’t have a higher wattage and it’s on the screen atm.Do you happen to have a higher wattage light bulb to use for basking right now?

I feel so badThank you! Willing to try anything. Just don't like that room so cold.
Eating great is really good. When there sick they usually stop eating completely. They usually have a beginning stage an then worsen. Sometimes right away or time-lapse depending on the illness. But without vet care an meds. They usually have no chance of survival. Gets me thinking how they get by in the wild. They're daily care needs must be always on point in the wild. Always gets me thinking they shouldn't be pets. Good example is the iguanas in Florida even this time of year.
I do have older windows. I just shoved them full of blankets
that helps. I can’t get out right now because the roads are covered. I have shower curtain on three sides. If I can get out later I’ll see if I can find the window film
If it makes you feel better it is not going to hurt him to have ambient temps in mid 60's for a few days but he may be less active while they are lower.I do have older windows. I just shoved them full of blankets
Ok that’s what I was worried about. I have noticed him being less active. Spending more time basking. But still himself other than that.
Higher wattage sometimes is more of a risk. If you can add another fixture with same wattage or lower. It will bring up the amb temps. I avoid higher wattage mostly cause of thermo burns. An if there cold an dark in color. They will bask alot an get close as probably.I don’t have a higher wattage and it’s on the screen atm.
Ima try to find something else to think of
I have read on chameleon academy. Actually refresh my memory. Nighttime temps in the 50's kept for panthers. Shouldnt cause any issues. Even if its temporary. Even read veiled being kept in the 40's. But best thing to do is heat up the amb temps in the area there kept. Not the enclosure. Just tough keeping a room warm. When its under 0 degrees outside. An even doors are not opening for being frozen. My front door an patio door won't open. Only thing that opens is the overhead garage door. Even furnace here cuts on every 2-3 minutes. Had it set on 68 an moved it up to 69f. Seemed to help alittle. Just not liking his body temps. Reading 60f with temp gun.
It’s insane how cold it is! We have a room in my house we don’t heat (super old house and no insulation in that part) so we just store stuff in there. Got a case of water out of the room…FROZEN.
I actually did the same thing. Frozen water an exploded 12 pack of soda.
