No I dont believe it is the same situation.
BD's are meant to endure some pretty high temps. Hence... desert dwelling reptile.
In this situation....
There was no shade available... so the suns index/intensity could not have been relieved.
If the animal had shade available to retreat from the sun (UVA/UVB intensity) the ambient temp would have remained nearly the same.
Therefore, it was not merely the heat alone.
If an animal overheats in a car it is because the windows are not down far enough to allow for air circulation. And the windows provide a green house effect amplifying the heat.
