# First Fly Trap; First Trap Sprung My first fly trap is only a week…

First Fly Trap; First Trap Sprung

My first fly trap is only a week into its terrarium and the smallest trap grabbed a bug (I didn’t manage to get it in video), but I’m so excited i had to share it.  
Also, i know the pads being green instead of red means it’s not getting enough light. New grow light will arrive this week.

Omg that pitcher plant looks really cool! Is it growing in a moss ball?

No it’s in sphagnum moss in a net pot sitting in another pot hanging on a rod I found at IKEA 😁 it’s called a nepenthes ‘Mimi’s Kiss’ I purchased from Carnivero online store. They have a great selection of nepenthes!

All new Venus fly traps usually start with green leaves with no pink, even when getting enough light. It just takes time to develope.
