Problem with my black dragon

I noticed some red spots on my black dragon. But then one of my pitchers is starting to shrivel and die. I took some pics with my phone so they are not that good but you can see the problem. One of the leaves is starting to get a big black spot too. But I have 2 huge pitchers, one that is just starting to form, and another not so big.

Anyways the pics are a lot better then the others I posted of the predator a long time ago.

If those don't work here is a link to get to the page. The tiger is a tattoo I'm getting soon.

I got the exact same problem with a N.reinwardtiana that I had.
I never figured out what it was and it died about 2-3 weeks after.
I thought it was some kind of fungus so I treated it with fungicide, cut off the damaged leaves and repotted it but it still died.
I hope someone here can help you soon or else it will probably die.

Looks like low air circulation and exchange. Increase ventilation.

Then open the top a little bit.

Dustin: How do you tell the difference between a virus and a fungi and this? I figured I'd ask since his plant and an affected plant all look the same to me. Any pointers?

I have the side open. I do have some foil covering the open side but I'm sure air can get through.

edit: Sorry, posted in the wrong thread. I guess that's what happens when you have so many tabs open...
