just a question about savs

[thomas1123]

Hello all, I have a friend who is a really sweet person and loves reptiles but refuses to give them proper care (housing feeding lighting etc) it really brakes my heart because she has had her sav for 4 almost 5 years in a 20 long aquarium... I really want to take this neglected monitor off her hands but I dont know if I will be able to Supply a big enough enclosure for its full adult size (at the moment) right now her monitor is about a foot and a half long... and its 4 years old. I know I can ateast give it a bigger enclosure than a 20 long and I have plenty of lizard experience ( had lizards sense I was a kid, now I'm a junior in college) but in no way am I saying that I am the best thing for this lizard I just think I wouldatleast be able to rehabilitate it for a while and just give it a little bit better life than it has. I know I can ateast give it a 5ft cage right now and larger later on. I just want to know what you guys think. Ive read plenty of posts about people taking in lizard trying to "save" them but not really being changing the lizards current conditions. Im open to any questions you guys have about it and advise. Thank you
