Is this dormancy????

I’ve been so worried thinking they were dying. Even the baby traps are turning black.  
I cut off quite a few traps that were already completely black

Don’t worry! They go completely black! I remember the first time my Venus fly trap went dormant, I picked off all the leaves I thought were completely dead!!!!
