Darlingtonia & N. ventricosa for trade

I have three Darilingtonia californica plants (two mature, one seedling) that just came out of dormancy. I also have a large, mature Nepenthes ventricosa which is strong and healthy but doesn't pitcher in my low RH environment. Looking to trade for low RH tolerant highland Nepenthes species or orchid species. Photos at the link below:

I have a N. sanguinea that has beautiful pitchers. Humidity is at 40%-50% most days.

Wait... what? Ventricosa should pitcher just fine in that humidity. Have you considered that it might not be getting enough light? Or, worse, have an infestation of mites or some other pest?

No mites. You can see in the photo that the leaves have a good deal of red on them, and I have the plants under fluorescents, so I'm pretty sure it's not light.
