Hello all! I've been looking through this forum for a while now, finally decided to sign up, and am in need of some advice. I picked up 2 VFT's from home depot about 2 weeks ago (from the Bloomrite distributor). They were the healthiest out of the bunch, and probably the healthiest I've ever seen. Pictures taken when I first got them. Many of the traps closed as I was taking them out of their tubes. Anyone think they can identify what type they are?

I took them out of the long humidity tube they came in and placed them on a saucer. My question is that both plants have their roots hanging out of the drainage holes (you can see on the third picture). I know it's growing season, but should I repot them?
I'm afraid that this might put them in shock as well as slowing their growth during the season. I also had the idea of just taking them out of the pot but leaving the soil intact and just putting it into a bigger pot with the new soil around it. What do you guys suggest?
