Red Habanero: What's the Scoville u guyz????????????!?!?!??!!?!?!?

Hi guyz. I back after many years sailing the seas searching for hot peppa. So anyway, other day i at local nursery and buy a pepper labeled onlee "Red Habanero". What's the scoville on a peppa like dis? I do the assuming that it's not some fancee kinda red habanero that is more hotta than normal, but could PepperDaemon be wrong u guyz? I heat lightweight no want to accidently bite into 600,000 scoville pepper u guyz.
 
What Hogleg said.

Most habs are 250-400k...red savinas were Worlds Hottest for a while at 500k.

Do you think they would sell red savinas marked as "red habanero"? That's what I mainly worried about.

Biting into 500 K  scovilles is not that different from biting into 350 K scovilles .
It is going to hurt.
 
Everything I've heard has said that regular Habs are 100k-350k, averaging ~200k, while that 400/450k peak is for Chocolates and Savina's go just a little further at about 530k.
 
After years of searching THP, Online nurseries and shops in California I've settled on the Jalapeno pepper.   :)

Nice find! I'll post the pic in a day or two. Just finishing up some work.
 
If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

Although I'm not making plans
I hope that you understand there's a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes

No more broken hearts
We're better off apart let's give it a try
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me, tell me lies)
 
Normal advice I'd give is don't sweat it(pun intended), jump right in. If you bite into it and it's too hot, spit it out, wait 3 minutes, and go about your day. No drama required.

Having said that and considering your post history I have some special advice for you:

Why don't you ask it what it is? I'm sure we'd all like to hear the response.
