I was told by the nursery where I got it that this was a Trinidad Scorpion. Can anyone confirm it? Is it a "Butch T" or a "Moruga" or what?
Help Please

Got any other pods to show? Going off just that one, I'd say neither. But if I had to choose one, I would say it errs more to the side of a Moruga Scorpion. Butch Ts tend to be smoother in texture.
Sorry, I've been on vacation with no access to the Intarweb. Here are some additional photos (I hope they help in the ID process):

OK - it's now turned orange & the outer layer is textured, kind of like an orange. I was told it was a Trinidad Scorpion, but I think it may be a Trinidad Moruga. Any ideas? More photos:
By the way, it's a little larger than a golf ball...there are only 6 on the plant & I'm hoping they finish maturing before the 1st freeze.
Well, I snatched it from the plant & used it in a small batch of salsa & am disappointed - its heat level is barely more than a jalapeno. So, either it was "mismarked" when I got it from my local produce/nursery or it just had issues from the start, since it didn't really get going until September...
I had to turn up the heat in my batch of salsa by adding a ghost chile to it...
