ok my flytrap is doing fine, I sometimes feed it freeze dried blood worms for a little faster growth,even though it keep it outside 24/7, I fed two traps and both of them sealed, just weirdly, one half is sealed like it should be,and the other half just bends the direction the sealed half, one trap, the bent half is on the top and for the other one the bent half id on the bottom, the previous trap I mentioned, the one with the bent bottom half, last time it caught LIVE prey, a small fly, it sealed correctly, this seems to be the case with another trap as well, the one I call "the purple trap" it caught something and is sealing properly, btw the purple trap is purple on one half, the top half, the other bottom half is green, also I can squeeze the digestive enzymes out of the weird sealing ones, is that a sign that the portion was too big or can you do that with any sealed trap, also the corpse of the previous victim was starting to get covered in white stuff, probably bacteria, but the bacteria are probably dead by now since the trap has been digesting for a few days, also the trap with the odd bottom half, is showing signs of tears from the top half so can anyone tell me the cause?

Some seal improperly. Nothing to worry about. No plant will have 100% perfect leaves. Traps and sundews included.

The pot is a few inches deep, but deep enough for the roots to not stick through the drainage holes
