Your not supposed to do it like that , always have some secateurs with you in the desert , and a rock if you want to to knock it off , and just pull the last spines out , im not sure if this is the correct way ?

[liberalinthedesertaz]

they have barbed spines that attach themselves into the skin..

And I didn't see the pads enough to see what type it was, true jumping cholla is really the Cylindropuntia fulgida but there is also teddy bear cholla aka Cylindropuntia bigelovii

[weiliiiiiii]

Its Cylindropuntia fulgida aka the jumping cholla.

[sairfaxroolz813]

yep. those things hurt. a lot. they have histamine activating chemicals so they itch when u pull em out.
