Yeah, they like heat. I have never had problems either, but I use a big grow light that heats up the room. I also like the ridiculously expensive Light Warrior seed starting mix, which I dilute. Most of my seeds get covered in vermiculite. I hardly notice a difference in germination and growth rates between my sweet peppers and my super hots, at least until they go out into the greenhouse and are exposed to cold nights. Then the difference is substantial. I start them late and not early for that reason. The early spring cold weather will stunt them.
