Dragons will make use of 120-130 just as they can make use of 105. It's not too hot for them, trust me. I have several healthy dragons that I see basking at 120-130 degrees everyday.(surface temp measured w/ temp gun)
My observation is they bask at higher temps for shorter periods of time than opposed to 100-105. Just as they do in nature, where 130 degree basking temps certainly exist.
105 degree basking spots exist in nature too, and I'm sure that dragons use them. My guess on warm days in Australia just the ground itself heats up well into the 100 degree range. I've shot 105 degree temps on the grass in my own backyard here in IL. Once you move up from the ground things start to heat up. That's where you will find surface temperatures of 120-130 and even much higher than that.
