Okei so I'm getting a Sarracenia Leucophella hybrid pretty soon, and was wondering about it's basic care? I have experience in growing vfts as well as droseras, is it anything like a vft's care? The sun gets quite scorching here in South Africa in the summer, so should I leave it outside in the sun? Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Mine grow in temps up to 100°F or more.

Full sun, rain or Distilled water, etc...

Very similiar to VFTs in my limited experience.

I keep mine in trays of RO water.

Pretty much the same care as VFTs is fine for Sarracenia. You want to keep them sitting in water at all times.

Let it flower and get seeds or it will grow multiple growth points over time that you can separate from the mother plant.
