Is this really a peanut cactus?

Question

I've had this guy for over a year but I'm not certain its a peanut cactus but that's all greg says it is.
Does anyone have any better ideas?

@RenownedRedtree · Answer

it does look like a peanut cactus but it’s not thick enough so I’d say it’s a snake cactus. But I’m definitely not an expert so it could still very well be a peanut cactus. Just look up some pictures to compare the two :)

I got to admit it is a cool cactus

@SesameSeeds777 · Answer

the top options on iNaturalist are Aporocactus flagelliformis, Cleistocactus winteri, and Lobivia silvestrii

@SesameSeeds777 · Answer

it says it's pretty sure it's part of the genus Aporocactus though

@SesameSeeds777 · Answer

I've had really good luck with iNaturalist and I think it's the most accurate AI for identifying creatures I've found to date, so I recommend it

@Ninabeena · Answer

It’s neat looking that’s for sure 🤗

Looks like a rat tail cactus

@SesameSeeds777 · Answer

@IndigoLily yeah, aporocactus flagrlliformis is rat tail cactus. I agree.

@Boymom-plantmom · Answer

I’m going to say rat tail as well. My pictures. Peanut, rat tail, fox tail (I think) and Medusa.

@ILoveMyPlants · Answer

Wow  If it isn’t Medusa 👍 She’s gorgeous but lthinking organ pipe ora Lady fingers . It’s beautiful whatever it is .

@ILoveMyPlants · Answer

Looking again, I think I’m wrong 😑 what does Greg say about this

@Lithopslover · Answer

I’ve done my research and that is definitively a good looking cactus!
