I would say that your first one is ventrata. The one Merkin has looks more ventricosa-ish than yours. Ventrata is a little longer than ventricosa. I also purchased a Nepenthes from the nursery, and it was also from Gublers a little while back. It's now in a bigger pot and a bit taller than your plant, but its lower pitchers looked exactly like the ones you have displayed. I know the intermediate pitchers are a deep red with a pale interior wall with no wings, but my plant hasn't produced any upper pitchers yet. I would settle for ventrata, but you may want to ask some of the Nepenthes experts on here.
