Darn it Louis. You got me. I thought I looked it over plenty. Guess not.

I hate to say it but that is a pittance to what he has probably spent on the animal in its lifetime of care. Thank god he's very much into educating the public about reptiles and nice enough to allow the zoo to display such an awesome animal.
