A VFT turning red means it’s getting the proper amount of sunlight. Not all flytraps display this but in certain cultivars and some seed grown. The red means that the chlorophyll has reached the maximum amount of light absorption.

Don't worry about that! Red is good. It means it gets a great amount of sunlight.
