Finally had time to see my plants and wanted to post an update for spring:
Nepenthes stenophylla (wild seed)
One of my few hybrids, Nepenthes singalana x hamata
Nepenthes edwardsiana, gearing up for the growing season:
Nepenthes ephippiata (wild seed)
A little guy, but my biggest, they are all slow for me Nepenthes naga (wild seed)
Nepenthes Peter D'Amato x trusmadiensis
Crappy shot under HPS lights, Nepenthes singalana upper
Nepenthes glandulifera
Nepenthes ramispina upper, under the yellow lights with some knuckle hair
More lights, nepenthes edwardsiana seedlings
Two shoots and now a basal on this Nepenthes aristolochioides from wild seed
A big-bubba-burbidgeae, Nepenthes burbidgeae from wild seed
Nepenthes hamata, I think this is a BE release, this is a intermediate pitcher
Nepenthes lowii x veitchii from our friends at EP
Nepenthes trusmadiensis, finally pitchering again
Two nice looking Nepenthes lavicola pitchers from seed
One of my favorite species, Nepenthes jamban. This is one of the BE plants. I think there may be some hybrid influence somewhere down the line on this clone:
Here is my more typical Nepenthes jamban from wild seed
Here is the whole plant right now, two shoots

Thanks for the photos!
Thanks for the photos!
Wanted to post some new pictures.
Some seedlings to start...
Nepenthes attenboroughii from seed:
Nepenthes izumiae x something and nepenthes inermis from seed:
Nepenthes lingulata from seed and a red nepenthes dubia from seed:
Nepenthes murudensis from super slow-seed, outgrown by villosa same age:
Nepenthes nagas from seed:
Nepenthes rigidifolia from seed:
Nepenthes villosa:
Nepenthes edwardsiana - yellow:
Nepenthes edwardsiana - red:
Nepenthes edwardsiana next to a can:
Nepenthes glabrata intermediates in the chamber:
Nepenthes hamata trio
Nepenthes lowii x truncata:
Nepenthes lowii - 6 plus years old at this point.
Nepenthes lavicola - burnt peristome:
Nepenthes lavicola - chubby dark:
Nepenthes lavicola - green peristome:
Nepenthes lavicola - red peristome, kinda looks like angasanensis:
Nepenthes lavicola - stripped persitome:
Thanks for looking.

Awesome plants 
Are those hamata different clones? If so, which are which? That would be an awesome photo for comparison.

@richjam ... Hey how have you been? ... All of these N. hamata pitchers are off the same plant. The pitcher to the right is a larger lower pitcher. Pitcher in the middle is the first sign of an intermediate pitcher as the plants is vining. Pitcher to the left is a transitional pitcher. This plant is a BE release from several years ago, probably just the N. hamata lumut clone.

Travis, because i am growing my plants remotely it is hard to control the water level that it would take to keep the sphagnum looking healthy and vibrant. It was easy to maintain the sphagnum when i could hand water my plants each day. Now i have to walk a line; i do not want to overwater my plants and risk doing damage in the form of disease and root rot. I definitely appreciate sphagnum as much as the next grower, but I am keeping things dryer these days which is working well in the enclosed setup.
