Amazon Purchase: Is this a Carolina Reaper?

:welcome:
 
Nope, looks like some kind of red habanero to me. Amazon and Ebay are notorious for bogus seeds. Best to get your seeds from trustworthy sources.
 
Red habanero?  Huh, well...I'm no pepper genius but I had my doubts based on visual comparisons. Would love to get some other opinions on the possible variety.  Would anyone else like to chime in?  Thanks Black Fatalii.  Oh, and thanks for the warm welcome everyone :-)

Oftentimes the first few pods from a plant may be off phenotype. You've waited a year for this pod....a little longer before you give up is my advice.

Right.  So, the tally so far is:
 
+1 = Ghost Pepper
 
+2 = Red Habanero
 
+1 = off phenotype and wait
 
 
Any other opinions?
 
Even the picture they used to sell you the seeds doesn't look like a very good pheno. I did see a tail on a pod or two
 
I contacted the seller on Amazon and they blamed me for mixing up the seeds.  But this is my first time growing peppers.  Oops.
