On my venus fly trap (regular form) there is red on the leaves, as well as inside the traps, I don't know if this is a bad thing or not, please help, as I don't know what to do.
cheers

Moved this to Venus Fly Trap Care Questions.

Some typical venus fly traps can develop red inside their traps, however I am aware that some can turn red (a dark, brownish red) through sun burn. What shade of red is it? Is it light, dark? What conditions is your plant kept in? Do you have any photographs? These would really help us diagnose any potential issues.

And seems how this is your first post: welcome to FlyTrapCare forums :D!

Hello! Welcome to FTC :) Your question's been answered, but seeing photos would help better diagnose the question/problem and also let us see your plant :D
