Gallons are not what's imporant, you need to look at dimensions. I wouldn't advise you to get anything smaller than 3x2x2 ft. Beardies should get at least 6 sq feet of ground space, and anything smaller is going to be cramped.

Really most people say that 55 is about minimum for an adult. the bigger the better, u can always build your own cage too

Alot of those combo specials have useless junk included in with them anyway so I wouldn't recommend buying one. Buy or build an enclosure for your dragon and get the UVB at the petstore or mailorder online store, as that is the only item you can't get anywhere else. The basking light, florescent tube fixtures, feeding dishes, substrate, etc. (well except food) you can get at a hardware store for much cheaper.
