When should I upgrade my 40-gallon tank for a 15-inch bearded dragon?

Question

When should I upgrade my bearded dragons tank? He’s in a 40 gal right now and he is about 15 inches long. Thank you!

He's about due for an upgrade now. These guys require a lot of space, so it's best to provide as much as possible. The requirement is that they have enough room to have a hiding place on both sides of the enclosure with enough room for basking in the middle. If you can achieve this, then that would be best.
