Heliamphora pics

I moved my heliamphora to a new tank today, so I thought I'd take some pics. The old terrarium was a little tent-shaped thing and they started to get crushed agains the top.

Here's the tank. I'm not using a top right now, and it's under some fluorescent tubes and a fluorex. The nepenthes is N. thorelli x aristolochioides.

Here is H. neblinae:

Here is H. ionsaii and H. heterodoxa on the right:

And finally, this alien-looking thing keeps coming in and bugging me. It's my brother's dog, Bud.

Very nice growing.
 
Very nice.
I hope my heliamphora turn out that nice. They have been reluctant to grow for me.
 
I'd kill for that N. thorelii x truncata !

rattler,
They are under fluorescent tubes and a fluorex fixture. I have two tubes along the back of the shelf and two fluorex fixtures along the front. It's pretty bright, but most of all, it's a cool spot. The temps are generally 58-72 degrees, and it's humid. I think they like that.

LLeopardGecko, the reflective backing is mylar that I bought a local indoor gardening store. You should be able to find it online if there are no hydroponics or specialty gardening stores around. Maybe Home Depot or someting has it, too, but I'm not sure.

sam, those pitchers are N. 'French Bulldogii'
