Species Identification

[Gratefully_dead]

hey all I found this cacti at Canadian Tire in the Garden Center, thought it looked suspiciously like san pedro so i picked it up and I was wondering if someone could take a look and let me know if it actually is pedro. Of course Im gonna repot it in a bigger clay pot and find a better spot for it than beside my computer but yeah any help with identification would be much appreciated

I'm not an expert by any means, but does look like pedro.

A little off topic:
Thats one pretty computer - I didn't know you could get lingerie for CPU's

Are all those fans functional or decoration?

hmmm, your going to have to get a good cacti book with a key. many of the shop bought cacti are hybrids and your one doesnt look quite right to me. something to do with the spacing between the areoles. cacti identification is a science in itself. count the spines, number of ribs etc and use a key
