Savannah monitor rescue

[Eavlynn]

Skiploder- should I have avoided handling even to give him Pedialyte mixed with water for hydration? From what I read, severe hydration needed the moist substrate and burrows coupled with drinking. He never drank willingly from a bowl. I'd like to know as much as possible about monitor care, not because I intend to seek one out, but in case I'm in a similar situation with a rescue. It's better to have knowledge and not need it, then to need it and not have it.
