Your image did not appear, but I could open the link. Your plant appears to have longer 'teeth' than most of the photos of 'Dente' that I have seen. To me it looks more like photos that have been identified as "Sharks Teeth".

Check out some of the images linked at

To me it looks like a dente flytrap. It has the saw tooth teeth. The commons are skinny and straight. Looks really healthy and Happy too

Did you order 'Dente', 'Dentate' or ' Dentate Traps '? They are three similar, but not identicle plants. Yours looks like ' Dentate Traps ', the only non tissue culture mutant plant in the group. They are known for producing more "normallish" traps in the spring when compaired two the other two in the group, but generally we don't bother with such distictions anymore.

Yah, I know, stupid url protected sites. You have to look at the sorce code to find the address. It is a Dente though, a real nice one at that, it's just got some of the classic traps mixed in like they do sometimes.
