Hard to say, but I think it is suspicious that the first true leaf is a blade, not a pitcher. All of my Cephalotus produced a pitcher immediately after the cotyledons.

I've tried comparing to pics online and theleaves look the same to me. I am just trying to get outside opinions.

Having just ID'ed several Ceph seedlings (forgot that I sowed the seeds a year ago ), I'd say you have a cephling coming up. The next "leaf" looks pretty bulbous and reminds me of the first pitchers I saw after one leaf was produced.

Ive had them produce leaves first, but as Paul says usually its pitcher first after the cotyledons.

See the top seedling.
