What model of exo-terra lighting are you using?
The T5s will be plenty for the Nepenthes assuming you keep them around 12" from the lighting. However, the Heliamphora might be a little starved for light. They will seem to grow fine, but if you really want them to thrive and show off their deep red coloration, consider creating an additional terrarium.
Remember that Heliamphora are native to areas in Venezuela where the atmosphere is extremely thin, providing very little resistance against light. They are used to extremely bright light levels and cool temperatures.
Good Growing,
Kenny
