My first harvest

Is it hot in here or is it just the peppers?

I'd strongly wager those are Caribbean Red Habaneros. I'm growing them as one of my first plants from seed as well! They are 2-3x hotter than normal habaneros with a slightly thicker flesh.
I read about scotch bonnets & habanero, both have sub varieties and some of them seem very similar. I still don't know for sure which one it is. Do you have pictures you could share ?
I actually do! Funny enough, the photo I took was a mixture of scotch bonnets and caribbean red habaneros. I was making a combo sauce with them. I harvested the seeds from the reds in this photo, and that's what I'm growing now. The yellows are obviously the scotches.

Such gorgeous colors and pod shapes!
Unfortunately I can take no credit - these were from the local farmers market, but saving the seeds is allowing me to try at home now. A few months away from any type of pepper yield. These were delicious, though.
I just happened to pick up a fresh batch today. This pic is just Caribbean Reds, for comparison. Probably left on the vine a little longer judging by how dry the stems are.
