I got a new pet last week and its a carnivore. Hmm trying to figure out what it is? Well its a Venus Fly Trap. I think they are facinating plants. I finally found a fly so I got to feed it yesterday. It will release a digestive enzyme and digest the fly. This takes about a week and then it dont have to be fed for another two weeks. Each trap only closes 4 time then it dies off and a new one will grow back but bigger. Right now mine are really tiny and has a few big ones but im closeing all the small traps so they will die off and bigger ones will come. When I was reading online about them they said to at least try sticking your finger in one to close it. So I did and its awesome. It dont hurt or anything it just cool how they use movement to close. They need to be really humid and need only a few hours of sunlight. When the traps turn red it means they had enough sun. During the winter they need to go dormat. I had a Venus Fly Trap before but I killed it when I tired to make it go dormat. Hopefully I can keep this one alive.
This is a picture 
of the trap that has a fly in it (the black part in the red trap) and a picture of the plant itself.
