Just wait!
If you want to get involved in reptile rescue just get the word out... soon people will be knocking at your door with more animals than you can deal with. I've been doing this for almost 10 years now and I've finally had to close intakes on Green Iguanas this last week. We are currenly caring for 36 GGI's, a dozen BD's, 5 Savs, 1 Nile, 1 Water monitor, about 2 dozen snakes including 5 large Burms, and numerous other assorted critters. Our weekly budget in the summer is about $300, including electricity. You don't want to know what it is in the winter here in Michigan.
Did you ever consider becoming a foster home for a rescue that already exists near you?
