The simple answer is the bigger the better! Mine is still very small and he seems to enjoy all his space. From what I understand, when they get older they don't run around as much but you still want to give them plenty of room to maneuver. I think a 40 gallon is the minimum recommended size for an adult.
With most lizards, the general rule of thumb is you want an enclosure that is at least twice as long as the adult lizard, and as wide as the adult lizard. Since most dragons are about two feet long, that would mean a 4 foot by 2 foot enclosure. Most recommend a 2 foot high enclosure also in order to give you the ability to have some climbing areas for them and still give a safe distance from the basking lights.
