The "mouths" will seal itself like plastic. Once it\'s "sealed", the mouth fills up with digestive juices and drowns the insect. It takes about 4 days for it to open again. Sometimes longer with ground beef


DO NOT EVER PUT IN SEASONED MEATS! It will kill the mouth.

Carnivorous plants live in like swamps where there is no nitrogen. The plant eats bugs as a way of getting nitrogen that is usable. So when the plant catches a bug, it releases digestive enzymes that break down the bug and uses its nutrients. In the case of the Venus fly trap, for each bug caught, more traps spawn

Cool! I didn\'t know that those kinda plants could be bought in shops... interesting :cool:

Alright I get it.... Thanks Gmanjoe, and titan. meh ise shtupid

So... ummm... where do you get this kind of thing?

Petland or your local Keyfood store?

That kicks ass man. Where can one go about getting one of these evil plants and how big do they get? *Looks malicously over at the neighbours kitty* MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
