Hello guys,

My name is varun. I am a 20 yr old third yr Biochem, Mol. Bio Spl. university student. I love animals and plants, but, kinda admire but hate insects ;).

I always like having exotic species (plants) in my home, but this wish never materialises as I DO NOT want to endanger the plant or risk it dying because of my lack of care.

I finally decided to start a small fishbowl terrarium with atleast 5 or so venus fly traps. Nothing fancy, just the common VFT species.

here is my start, the first VFT that I bought at the local sqare one walmart.




I just posted a few questions regarding this hobby. Please lend me a hand if u can

Welcome to the forums! i remember my first time with a VFT...and lucky you! you have the clone/cultivar called 'Dente'. you can see the "teeth" are not as long. ill look at your post and see what i, as also a newbie, can do.

Its gonna be real interesting to see how it turns out.
 
lol! I kinda already find myself in the middle of it. I already bought a new terrarium kit with 5 varities of VFT's in it from petflytrap.com. I already spent 50$ on it. I am now presently researching about getting some live moss, a few small ferns to grow in it as well.

And yep....you're definitely hooked. lol Happens to best of us. First VFTs...then come the 'dews...the neps...the pings...the utrics...

Look up Carl (Mabudon on the forums). He's one of our Canadian members. He and some others are working hard to get CPs more available in Canada.

Stick around and join in the fun.

LOL Zac and Suzanne,thanks for the props (and posting that link, SWEET)
It is always a happy time when another Canadian CP-er sprouts, especially an ambitious one like Verun here, I forsee some good things from this one

(and it took me so long to post cos I basically PMed Verun as soon as I saw the Canadian affiliation)
 
That was the first time I'd see the video. LOL! Is the Jedielf Angela?

You should hear Carl do an impression of Yoda!
