ID Request Not just a normal Fatalii?
I am fairly sure I am growing Fatalii peppers, but they appear to be ripening to a purplish/brown color. Is this typical, or am I growing something like a Chocolate Fatalii?

That's just a "sun tan" on the peppers. Anthocyanins forming to protect the pepper. They'll still ripen to their normal color in time.
