What plants are going in the terrarium? Most CPs don't need elevated humidity, so you'd probably be fine without a top or even without the terrarium completely.

theres actually two tereriums beside each other,
the first tererium is the big one and it has d. capensis seed, d. slackii seed, d. admirabilis seed, a pydmy sundew, a cup of spagnum moss and two intremediate nepenthes.

the second tank has d. pygmaea seed, d. spathulata, d.binata, vft , vft (not sure of the name but it has BIG traps!, you can see it in my profile pic)

Mitch, for that list of plants you don't need terrariums. If you do want to grow them in the terrarium, you can do it with no lids. I'd also recommend some sort of fan to help keep the air moving and fresh otherwise you'll likely end up with mold.

That Depends on what kinda Nep it is, most Nepenthes don't need a terrarium. They can do fine without it.

If you do decide to do a terrarium, you can also use a damp towel. When I swapped my tank lid for a damp towel it increased my humidity by about 5-10%. Like Matt said though you need to be careful of mold so take the proper precautions

Does this seem like a good setup for outdoors?

Not what you would expect...

Mixing small amounts of miticide

worm in substrate?

Unkown sarracenia

Nepwnthes hamata help, potential fungus growth?
