Hello,

I've had this flytrap for about two months or so, when I noticed the traps weren't developing and the leaves were long I moved it from my room to a SE facing window sill outside.
And now it looks like its dying completley, so is there any chance to save it?

What kind of soil is it in? What are you giving it for water? It looks like mineral burn/ sunburn to me. Moving it from a window sill to full sun can kill your flytrap, especially when you don't give it give it a proper acclimation period(shade for a few days, then slowly move it to part shade for another few days, and then you can finally move it to full sun).

It's in the same pot from when I bought I didn't replant it, and I guve it distilled water.
Then I'll move it to a more shaded place for now
Thanks

You should definitely consider repotting that flytrap if it has mineral burn.
It seems like you received it from a "death cube" so the origional soil is actually deadly (it contains nutrients).
Repot it with 75/25 nutrient free peat moss and perlite.

I agree with @Cphunter, you definitely should repot it with either long-fibered sphagnum moss or a non-fertilized peat/perlite mix.
