Help!!! My store bought venus flytrap seems like it's dying after 2 months, it was doing fine in producing new flytraps until now where all of them became to drool and some of the new ones blackening.

It could just be dormancy.

Can you post a photo of your plant? That would go a long way to being able to offer some advice. There are quite a number of reasons that traps turn black, including dormancy, being fed inappropriate meals, mineral burn, crown rot, reaching the end of their lifespan, and a few other reasons.

Post a pic. If you use Tapatalk you can post a picture as an attachment or use a website like imgur If you are on a computer. It might just be dormancy for all we know, but no one can really give you accurate info if they can't see it. My VFT looks like it's dying, but it's just going dormant, so I'm not worried whatsoever

Flytraps never do. I am guessing you asked that question based on what I wrote above? If so, re-read the sentence...the list I made was with regards to traps turning black and not related to the overall plant reaching the end of its lifespan. Sorry for the confusion!
