I'm not sure how the lizard itself is affected, but I found this news article that is worth knowing about....mentions Ghanns in there:
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/os-cricket-farm-bankruptcy-20100621,0,4775044.story
excerpt:
"Payne, owner of Lucky Lure Cricket Farm, supplied reptile owners, Florida theme parks and zoos with millions of singing insects every month until her Leesburg warehouse was suddenly silenced by a bug of a different kind.
A quick-spreading virus, blamed for destroying similar farms in Europe, wiped out her cricket colonies this year, contaminated her facility and forced the 58-year-old niche business into bankruptcy court this month."
