I have hundreds of plants, and most of them are in containers that keep an inch of water at the very bottom. However, this one "self-watering" container does not. With the recent Georgia heat (every day in the 90s with blazing sun), only the traps in this one pot have suffered. I believe this is from the heat building up in the growing medium, rather than its direct effect on the leaves. These plants have leaves with a pale color with brown mottling, as shown in the photo.

Is this from hot growing medium? All other VFT plants are thriving.

We've been in the low to mid 90s where I am and I'm not seeing any problems with mine. As long as they are in some water they'll be fine. They can take the 90's fine.

That's mite damage. You'll need to treat the plant and all plants in your collection ASAP with a dedicated miticide. If you don't know where to get it, we do offer some for sale in hobbyist quantities at FlytrapStore.com:
