Cacti & Succulents

IKEA cactus id

Got this sucker from IKEA. I'm guessing some type of Ferocactus, but I want to make sure because I know some Euphorbia look a little like this and I don't want to get sick.

Euphorbia will not make you sick unless you cut them and get the latex on your skin or eyes, and only then if you do not wash it off, and are prone to allergic reactions. I have dealt with succulent Euphorbia for many years and never had a problem.

Nice Cactus, by the way!

I think it may be gymnocalycium buenekeri. Take a look to see if that's it.
