Hi guys I'm Sydney!
This is Petey.

I've had Petey for 5 days now. Had a rough shipment from North Carolina.

All of the traps were closed upon arrival.
A few of them are turning black, this is normal, right?

When should I trim the dying bits off?
Can I re-pot it yet or should i wait?

How deep is that pot? What are you going to repot into? Definitely wait either way until the shipping shock is over.

I'm not sure how deep the pot is, I think 3 inches tall? I ordered some new ones, 6 inches, and some little trays to keep water in.
How long should I wait? I dont want to kill it from shock but I also dont want it to be uncomfortable in the tiny pot

I'd wait a week then replant it. 3 inches is a little cramped.

yes clip the dead traps away because the plant will rot if you dont and i recmend what i do for carny my flytrap put it in a west faceing window!!!

Repot it in a deeper plastic pot and stick it outside in some sun. Windows don't cut it for sunlight requirements.
