110 to 120 degrees is a good basking spot temp at any age. Adults don't need the temps as high (around 95 to 105 is good for them) but they seem to enjoy having access to the higher temps as long as they can go somewheres to cool down when they need to. You can check the basking spot by measuring the point closest to the heat/light source. But equally important is to provide a cool side of around 80. Measure this by checking the lowest area on the oppsite side from your heat source with your digital thermometer or temp gun.
As long as your beardie has a place to get IN and OUT of the heat then it will be able to egulate it's body temp as it needs too.
