Ghost peppers as indoor plants

I’m plant sitting my friends ghost pepper plants because his cat will eat the entire plant and kill it. I tried one the other day and it had a very nice berry flavor but it burns like putting a red hot coal in your mouth. I do love the way they look though. I live in zone 8a so I put them outside when it is above 60°F to get sun. That happens pretty often here in Alabama so they do get a considerable amount of sunshine. I’m gonna try doing this with bell peppers cause homegrown bell peppers are the best.
