My name is Jen.
New to the forums, kinda new to carnivores. Been keeping them only a couple years, (VFT and Sarracenia purpurea). Needless to say I have been bitten, and am going to try my hand at a few more pitchers (Sarracenia sp.) and some of the assorted Nepenthes, as well as butterworts and sundews. Eventually if I am lucky, and feel ready, I would like to get some Heliamphora going as well, but that's rather long term, since I consider myself a novice at this point. I am also aiming to put in a carnivorous plant garden (bog) in my backyard, showcasing the native species that can be found in my area.
I already keep numerous species of exotic reptile/amphibian/invertebrates, so building enclosures with specific heat/humidity/light requirements is nothing new to me, and I'm pretty sure much of that knowledge can be applied to building suitable terrariums for some of the more finicky species I hope to work with.
