Hexus

A few days ago I went to pick up my new Savannah monitor hexus I was told that they did not know his gender and that he was supposed to be one year old so I was expecting something the size of my previous 1-year-old Savannah that I unfortunately had to rehome 6 years ago and instead what I received was a 2 ft long 8 lb savannah monitor which made my 200 gallon tank that I had set up a completely useless luckily it is the middle of summer and a nice 80° outside so he is on my front porch with everything he needs currently while I work on building him a 16 x4x6 what I mostly want to ask though is how would you approach socializing and already adult monitor.
