Never give an iguana Viagra

ANTWERP, Belgium (Reuters) - Mozart, an iguana with an erection that has lasted for over a week, will have his penis amputated in the next couple of days.

Veterinarians at Antwerp's Aquatopia had sought to treat the animal's problem, but decided removal was the only solution because of the risk of infection. The good news for Mozart and his mates is that male iguanas have two penises.

Mozart, sitting on the shoulders of his keeper as camera crews focused on his red, swollen erection, seemed unperturbed by the news.

"It doesn't bother him. He doesn't know what amputation means," said vet Luc Lambrecht, adding that Mozart's sexual activity should be undimmed by the operation.

"I don't think so. That's all in his head."

13. I'm assuming you're not being serious?
I've heard rumors of dicks rotting off from untreated priapism.

15. No, of course not serious ...
Rotting off vs Amputation, not an easy choice. I guess I'd consult a MD, check out wazzup.

Unlike the lizard, I don't have a spare ...
