Default Room temp lizards?
Just a general question, my room temp is like 65F I was wondering there are many amphibians which can be kept at this temp, what about lizards?

if the average is 65F you'll need an additional heat source even for a crested!

Yeah 65F is too low for cresties, they need a temperature of around 72F same with mourning geckos. A small heatmat will easily boost temeratures enough though.

Yep, although they'll be OK at 65, optimal day temperature is around 74. But NEVER over 81-84. They're very sensitive to changes in temp so anything over that can be dangerous.
