(A lot easier to find than an escaped snake, that's for sure!)

I had him in a 15 gallon when I first got him and upgraded him to his current tank, a 40 gallon breeder. It's on the small side for an adult beardie so I will likely end up building him something in the future. For now though it's adequate...
You would be VERY surprised by how high they can jump.

See this tank



On of my beardies from the ground could jump up and land perfectly on the ledge of the top, and sometimes if I left the top open he would hang out there.
