No, because divided/vegetatively-propagated flytraps are genetically identical.

You can still pollinate them with each other and get seed. You may not get as much as you would if you cross-pollinated two genetically-different flytraps.

For a sample, here are the results of my cross-pollinating two genetically identical plants (they were both 'Big Vigorous').
