one more nep

This is from a bunch of cuttings that I got last summer. I thought that I had them right and that this pot was a couple of ventricosas until the ventratas started pitchering. Just as I was convincing myself that it is a ventrata, I see this auction http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108887
and these pitchers look just like the ones on my plant.

So which is it, and why?

looks like a ventricosa. kinda hard to tell, but I think ventrata have more of a narrow waist.
 
If you grow it in strong light, it's a ventrata, if it's grown in less than strong light, it's a ventricosa. The two neps look similar, except that ventrata is slimmer, as afore mentioned, and ventricosa is typically redder. If you grow it in lower light, though, ventricosa will be very hard to tell apart from ventrata.
