Work for what? A Venus flytrap? Maybe...but you'd probably be better off without it.

It should work for drosera, vft, utrics, pings and vfts maybe even highland nepenthes if your conditions are right. Just don't let it get too hot. And I don't think its really necessary.

I'm obsessed with victorian stuff and I want an enclosed (not airtight or anything) case for my VFT so I can put feeder crickets into it.

Sounds like it might not keep crickets in:

Can't have pets as in, they would push the top up.

Ah, ok...be on the lookout for strong crickets then

It can be made to work. If its fully enclosed, the humidity will go too high and the plant will be prone to rotting. You need some way to allow air to pass through as well to prevent moulds from breaking out. Would you be keeping it indoors? If so, you will need some bright lighting. Outdoors or being in direct sunlight might cook the plant.
