Hello, everyone!

below shows pods of my reaper (bought as reaper), is it reaper or not?

their skin start to be gnarly (this is nice). but shape do not look like standard reaper (more like 'scorpion').
Any idea??

It's a pepper. Wait till the pods are bigger.

You really cannot tell at this point. early pods sometimes do not express the true reapers shape that later pods will.

there are more pics, the skin become more gnarly.

reaper do not always have tail, right?

No, they don't always. It definitely looks more like a reaper in the recent picture

Wait till they ripen and eat one to be sure

It looks like a reaper to me they have very big leaves like that and the pod looks similar, but it is impossible to tell until they are mature-it is definitely some type of Super hot
