Actually it is well know that you want to limit the air flow and ventilation. Becasue all monitors require humidity and can actually dehydrate very quickly even if drinking regularly if the humidity is to low. A 20 gallon tank could last you maybe a couple months if you have the correct setup. But It is imparative that you cover the screen top to limit the humidity.
I have 2 baby niles in a 4'x2'x14" at the time being and only have a couple of ventilations holes that are about 1/4" each.
As they get older you will need a much larger cage. I would say a minimum size for a male would be somewhere around 10'x5'6'tall.
female maybe around 8'x4'x6'. you will need hight so that you can have a deep soil base for both burrowing and cover as well as humidity.
Do you have a general idea about heating and humididty?
