I need help reidentifying my cactus

[Fish Breath]

So at first I thought it was a saguaro, then I realized it had way different spikes on the tips, and now I’m not sure. Please help me identify and check it it’s edible to my RT.

might put this in his enclosure, tell me if I can, and if it’s edible. The roots are very short... thanks in advance the tort community!

Looks like a light-starved echinopsis.

With so many varieties if opuntia available, I wouldn't worry about feeding those extra spiney varieties.

Really?! I was wrong once again! Thank you so much!

Actually, I thought it was a scarlet hedgehog cactus before, is that a species of echinopsis?

So should I put it in my RTs enclosure?

I wouldn't. Too many other better edible safe plants & vines. Those thorns are pretty nasty. Why risk an injury?
