Wow. I'm jealous. What's your humidity? Traps should be bigger :(

Looks fine to me. There is a point where leaf size catches up with trap size and can surpass it. Not to mention he has only had it for a month, and being a bit older of a plant, it would take some more time to fully settle.
Not saying it doesn't look healthy, looks great. Just saying my other neps around that size have bigger traps; hence my question.

My conditions are too new to show much influence on the plant. Humidity 75% day, 80%+ at night. I'm guessing that it had a little less light than I'm giving it now. Maybe in a month it two the new leaves/pitcher size will be different. Some of the Neps I've had for 2-3 months now have smaller leaves and giant pitchers.

To be honest I'm jealous of yours. Do you mind telling how much you paid?

Not as much as native_R1 just sold his for ;)

I'm jealous of your hamata(and most everyone else's Neps) so we are even. It seems like a long time ago but I bought my first Neps in September.

Awesome, will do. It's definitely a little bigger since I last posted. Lowii is a pretty slow grower though.

Maybe a little faster. One of the pitchers in the December 22nd pictures was actually cut off as it had faded. The leaf that's currently coming in is showing a pretty good leaf jump.
