I have a terrarium with a wide variety of tropical carnivorous plants in it. I have four different Nepenthes, (Nepenthes bicalcarta is my favorite, it has fangs!) Several different sundews, A Cepholotus folicularis (Australian Pitcher Plant) and a couple of tropical Butterworts. Check out http:www.cobraplant.com/cmd.php?af=385276
They have care sheets, a blog, and a wide variety of tropical as well as North American carnivorous plants. Nepenthes are showy plants that can get quite large. I have an Australian sundew called a King Sundew which is an impressive specimen also.

I doubt flowers like Venus Fly Traps - between the less difficult carnivorous flowers to maintain - ought to stay with 13 watts. those flowers want very superb easy or finished sunlight. Plant in a blend of sphagnum moss and sand. do no longer fertilize. Use de-mineralized water or rainwater to water the flowers.

Hmmm, never seen carnivorous plants in a terrarium. Do you have to include bugs for the plants to eat in the enclosed environment? Here is an interesting site for you
