pod Supposed to be Carolina Reaper

[Decyborg]

Hi folks,
 
I got some seeds from Sandia seed, they are supposed to be Carolina Reapers but the few pods it has so far do not look like a Carolina reaper to me, the pods were fairly hot, don't really have an objective way to compare but they felt "hotter" than a habanero.

Looks to me like a Carribean Red or Red Savina.

I guessed red savina too. I've seen a lot of different reaper shapes off the same plants so far, but the one detail they all have in common is that bumpy texture. I've yet to see a smooth one.

Hotter than a regular hab corroborate that a bit too, red savs are spicier. Super hot like Reaper I think should be more or less obvious. Like make you physically ill if you're remotely normal and chomped one. Lol

The first small pods are rotten dwarfs hence the black mold. Even your store bought I highly doubt are Reapers. I also doubt they are Red Savina as very few people grow them at all now,

Not so sure about that.

I'm also growing what are supposed to be Caribbean red and the shade of the green is much more lighter closer to yellow:

Edit: I've picked two pods so far, both tiny, only one had mold and it also had a small hole, so I think that was the reason, the other one didn't have seeds nor mold.
Here is another pic from the store bought, first are supposed to be ghosts, middle are scorpions and the last are reapers, heat level was similar to the store bought BUT I've found that store bought are usually milder not sure if it applies here as well.
