Only this plant in my collection keeps making deformed traps. It doesn't seem to have any pests. Any ideas? Also had a bit of cold damage from frosts.

It's light deprived. Flytrap's are outdoor plants and require a lot of direct sun.

A few of mine were doing this and a week after reducing their water, they bounced back and started producing normal traps again.
