130 degrees is way, way too hot for a bask for dragons. Robyn, you seem to be very knowledgable in reptile keeping practices but I doubt how much you really understand Pogona Vitticeps. Where in Australia are surface temps 130 degrees consistently? The answer is.....nowhere! Average surface temps in the summer for arid-desert areas in AU are about 40 degrees celsius = 98 degrees fahrenheit.
130 degrees = Forcing the animal to bask for very limited amount of time due to extreme heat. Raising the ambient temp of the enclosure to dangerous levels overall affecting their need to thermoregulate.
Please get a more reliable source for your information.
