Hello every one!! I am from Everett WA, just north of Seattle about 25 miles. I am a commercial jet aircraft mechanic. I have been a carnivorous plant freak for about 32 years, but have never owned a terrarium. I recently purchased a small aquarium and put Fly Traps, Sundews and a Pitcher plant and 2 55Watt 5000k CFL's. New growth is coming up from everything and flowers are blooming from the sundews. I think I am off to a good start. Thanks for the answers to a few of my questions. I look forward to being a part of this big family of Carn. parents for years.

Thanks and Happy Posting.

David
