I wanted that big guy but it was over $200 so I bought a baby one for much less. It's already starting to grow hair. Looks like it has a little mohawk. Isn't that adorable?

Awesome. What is the name of it and are you using a grow light?

It's a Pilosocereus leucocephalus. And yes I'm using a grow light. It's about 3" from the top and is on 12 hours.
