Your plant is a tropical pitcher plant, genus Nepenthes. It has different requirements than a Venus' Fly Trap. I suggest you look at the "Tropical Pitcher Plant" section of the forum. I only grow one Nepenthes myself. Here's what I do but I'm not an expert.
I give it distilled water, top watering it. (as opposed to sitting in a tray of water. Their roots can rot.)
I give it partial sun, morning sun and evening sun.
It's a tropical plant. It gets unhappy below 55 degrees F and above 90 degrees F.
It's OK with normal humidity. It doesn't need a terrarium or cover.
Some Nepenthes are OK in a bright sunny window.
By the way, welcome to the forum. You'll find a lot of nice people here, and a few grumpy old curmudgeons, like me.
Good luck and good growing,
Mike
