the tops have little spikies all over them too, if that helps (highly scientific, i know ;) )

thanx!
 
Looks pretty darn similar to my N. tobaica... But that's just me.
 
EST, you will find that there are many neps that look similar as jeuveniles. tobaica, ventricosa, ventrata, several others. It's tough to tell with young'uns.

Of course, just saying that I have a plant that looks right about identical- the lids were even doing the part way closing thing for a while, too. But, as you said, time will tell.

I won it in the last NASC auction from PAK. It's still young, too, so it's possible that it could be mislabeled, I suppose. Furthermore, I'm not sure where she got it from, I'll keep an eye on it as it continues to mature.
 
I have a bunch of those Neps from Lowe's and Home Depot. So far they've been putting out pitchers that closely resemble that of N. ventricosa. Who knows though, since my plants aren't much older than yours.
 
Most deffinately N. Ventrata Jimscott on the first one.

N. Judith Finn is a good guess for the second. Agristarts produced quite a few of them at one time.
