It's not a Spatulata. Rotundafolia for sure. The carnivorous parts of the leaves are too spoon-like, and Spatulata's full leaves are oval-shaped and carnivorous.

That was going to be my second choice, my old eyes just couldn't quite make out details. It looks a lot like my capi, just bigger.

My money is on D. capillaris. A closer picture would help. Lamina look to be too small for rotundifolia, and there are more active leaves on that rosette than you'd typically see with rotund as well.

I would, but currently almost all of the leaves are gone because I'm propagating leaf cuttings, and I think its in a hibernaculum

Sure
