Holy cow that's a huge pitcher! Dont know about you guys but it's the peristome stripes that really get me.

Not sure but he could've also acclimated it to lower Temps/humidity.

Yessssss, that is a beauty! I had my Raff outdoors down here in Louisiana for a few months, and it was loving the heat and humidity. But I had the bright idea to repot it, and it got cooler at night at the same time, so I decided to bring him in for the fall/winter.
Photo is one of the nicer pitchers. Prolly about 3-4" tall, nowhere near big as yours. Good job with that one! Image

Thanks!
It was sold to me as rafflesiana "Singapore giant" so that's why it has such large potchers. I was surprised too!
