I would like to know what temperature should my drip & mist water be. When I mist the temperature drops to a bout 65 then level out about 70. I have a 65watt day light . And my basking area is about low 80s 20140308_194250.jpg

Most chams love a good warm mist. But you don't have to heat the water, room temp is fine :) Keeping water warm aids in bacteria growth, so if you're going to heat the water I would clean the reservoir every couple days.
 
There is no set temperature that is right or wrong, but would you rather be misted with warm water or cold??? Me, I would like warm, unless I was outside baking in the sun. I put hot water from the tap in the misting bottle and it comes out warm when sprayed. My drippers are filled with cold water and then they eventually settle down to room temp.
