Thank you all for the help. I would like to clarify though, IT IS NOT MY MONITOR. So please ease up on the lectures, I already know it is bad to buy and then figure out how to properly care for a reptile (or any animal for that matter).
With that being said, I already went out with her and helped her get soil and sand, I mixed it myself and put it into the enclosure for her. I told her she needs to find a couple of hides for him. The Plexiglas is on the list of things to do, but I think she thought owning it was going to be cheaper than it has proven to be. I have had to be very stern with her to get her to buy the proper stuff for him.
Some people don't understand how much of a commitment is required to keep reptiles and they jump in head first without any prior research. Thank you all for the advice, however as a previous poster stated, he may already be to far gone for me to help.
Kudos to you for helping your friend
