We've been around and around on this before. In captivity dragons need to bask for longer periods of time to absorb the pitifully small amount of UVB put out by man made bulbs.
Furthermore, I have 27 BD's and have tried higher temperatures. They are useless and provide no advantages only disadvantages. My basking spots are regulated at 105 and the dragons still lie on the outside of the hottest spot except when they first warm up in the morning. In nature the basking temps. would not be 140 when the sun rises. Beardies warm slowly and then hide in cool places when basking temps. get to the levels you describe.
I'm done with this discussion we have been over this time and again. But, I will post anytime someone offers incorrect or unhealthy advise and let the questioner decide who's advise they want to follow.
