Hey MS Smiith, nice looking collection. Here's a portion of my collection. Everything is indoors now because the weather here in Cleveland is so bad.

Do you keep your cacti under artificial light when inside?

Bloody nice mate!!! Really good range of species there by the looks of things. Do you know what species the one I've circled in the pic below is? Any chance of a closer pic of that one? It looks a lot like one of mine that I'm not sure of the ID on it, it seems like a cross between pachanoi and peruvianus. Like either a short spined torch or a long spined pedro. Or maybe something else entirely? Here's the circled pic:
And you can check out some pics of mine including the one I'm wondering about at Zee-Werp's little magic garden
Anyway congrats on the cacti, they look really healthy etc.

Hey Felix, that is a Sacred Succulents T. glaucus, but it is two limbs coming off a single base and only gives the appearance of being twisted.
I do grow a number of plants from seed, but these are all likely clippings I've gathered. In the winter they all go into my unheated attached garage which is now running about 40 degrees. There is some light, but without the necessary heat they go dormant until the temps rise in the spring. I offer them no water, and even the smallest of plants handle the lack of heat and water just fine.
Sex with my cactus, hum, why didn't I think of that?
Zee, below is the plant you circled. It was passed on to me as the "true" T. peruvianus, but it is not at all like the KK242 T. peruvianus. I've opened MyPics to the public if you want to see the KK242. I actually think the "true" T. peruvianus might in fact be the "peruvianoid" form of T. macrogonus, this opposed to the "terscheckioid" (T. terscheckii-like) T. macrogonus from Bolivia (a plant not even close to the original descriptions of the species).

Here's the Huntington Botanical Gardens T. macrogonus for comparison.

Here's what I think both your plant and my own would look like should they be growing in habitat.

This is T. macrogonus from Lamb & Lamb, I forget the year of the publication, but I think in the 1970s. This plant is pretty much identical to my own above and to the Huntingtons, but is rather immature and not grown under the best and brightest conditions, and therefore not showing the glaucus color or the proper spination, but the rib formation is right on. Anderson in The Cactus Family shows a picture of the flower, but it doesn't show the plant clearly, which leads me to believe that even he was unclear on which plant is in all actuality T. macrogonus, a plant originally described from a European collection which lacked collection data.
This is fun, I hope everyone appreciates the pictures and commitary.

Here's a photo I took in Australia at Ethnobotanica 3 (Shaman-Australis Botanicals / Wandjina Gardens) which I hold to be the "peruvianoid" T. macrogonus.

And just to give you an idea of what most seed grown T. macrogonus look like I included this photo of the "terscheckioid" T. macrogonus from Bolivia. There is not reason in my mind why this plant should have ever gotten this name applied to it as it doesn't fit the original descriptions of T. macrogonus at all.
