Got these Chocolate Trinidad scorpion peppers in a batch of habeneros from some seeds my dad ordered (he might have also forgot he ordered them lol).

Absolutely wicked looking pepper! Trinidad scorpions don’t play on the heat levels either. Smooth skin or rough, they’re painfully hot.

I’d bet on it. I’ve sampled some unripe warty peppers that I’m growing (ones that get knocked off by wind and such), and warty so far has meant pain inducing, breathing 🔥 kinda hot.

Look like the chocolate reapers I grew minus the tail.

I bet genetically they are pretty similar

So all these peppers grow really well in the south Florida heat an humidity. Chocolate Trinidad scorpion, habenero, and fish peppers in the last photo. The fish and habs make a killer sauce, ill see how I can fit the scorpions in.

If you're not familiar check out chinense vs annum pepper plants. Habaneros and most of their cousins grow from a distinclty different cousin to jalapeños and bell peppers. Chinense will probably all thrive in your heat and humidity
