My plant keeps getting black heads each day. Now the bigger ones are turning black. Does it look healthy and normal?

It's normal for old traps to die off this time of year, especially after a recent repotting and change of environment. Just give the plant lots of good light, enough distilled water to keep the moss moist and it will do great

Lately when I water my plant it soaks up all the water and the soil is completely dry an hour later. Is that normal?

Thats not normal. Id consider switching to a larger pot and using peat:sand:perlite if its drying out that fast.
