Where in Brandon preferred …. Could I find “ ghost peppers” and/or “Carolina Reaper” peppers???

The Green Spot has periodically brought in and sold both of these kinds of pepper plants. (I think so at least, I'm fairly certain that they've at least sold the Carolina Reapers, someone correct me if I'm wrong).  
 
However I've never seen the actual pepper fruit available for sale anywhere. Unless someone in town bought one of these plants and is willing to share, you'd probably have to purchase out of town or online. Most people I've known who have tried these peppers have purchased a product made with them, like hot sauces.

I bought a California Reaper AND ghost pepper plants from green spot but no peppers as of yet. And not sure any are coming .

If you don't have peppers now you're not getting any. It should have set fruit back by the end of June/early July (roughly when tomatoes do).  
 
I struggle with peppers every year. Out of 8 plants I started from seed, only 4 made it to the outdoors, and I'll get 4 peppers in total. They need lots of heat, water and nutrients. And possibly singing to in the evenings??

I grew ghost peppers, habanero, Serrano, and jalapeño from plants purchased this spring.  
 
Serranos and jalapeños are turning red. The plants look like a Christmas tree with all the red and green ‘ornaments’.  
My habaneros are turning orange now.  
The ghost peppers are looking pretty ‘evil’. I’ve got about 20 on the plant. They are all still green so I am prepared for a longer maturation.  
 
I grew these because they are not available in our area and I intend to make sauce.  
I’ve been asking around about selling some of the evil offerings.  
One lady told me that some people have been selling the ghost peppers 3/$20  
I probably won’t have many left as I have some friends eager to try them.  
 
Perhaps there are some people who will have a bigger harvest than myself to offer you some of the spoils.  
 
I will definitely be growing all these hot peppers again next year.

You looking for peppers only or do you want a whole plant? I have found growing ghost peppers requires them being brought in for roughly six weeks to get the peppers to ripen on the plant . I usually bring them inside when the night temp are about 5 to 8 celcius on a regular base.

I came across an Armageddon Pepper Plant at Home Depot this spring, and grabbed that. Strangely those plants were easier to find than Jalapeno plants there when I went.  
 
My plant has 4 decently sized peppers on them right now, just hoping they ripen off before the cool temps/frosts get to them.

The coop on richmond has a large bin of orange habaneros. I don't remember the last time they had them.

My ghost peppers are starting to ripen outside.  
Best I have done ,most years I have brought them in before they started to ripen
