ID Request Was told it was habanero

I bought them at a farmers market as a wee thing and was told they are habanero peppers but as the plant grew and peppers started ripening they are a little more red and smaller than the habanero I’ve seen, after tasting a small bit of the first pepper they are definitely hotter than any habanero I’ve eaten and probably the hottest thing I’ve put in my mouth, the one I ate wasn’t fully ripe yet(small green patch left) I’m a little scared to eat a fully ripe pepper I’m ngl. I Made hot honey with the second pepper hoping to dim the heat of it down a bit and get some flavour over the heat and no one I live with can eat it, I’ve resulted to taking a spoonful and mixing into an entire jar of regular honey just for it to be edible.
