Anyone else keep carnivorous plants?

[MarkS]

Same here, I kill a carnivorous plant every year or two when I get the hankering to try again. I've got some kind of pitcher plant seeds in the fridge now that I'm pulling in a couple weeks. Reading the instructions it states that this particular plant requires a winter dormancy and I'm supposed to toss it in the fridge for a couple months each year after it dies to stimulate regrowth. Maybe there's something like that you need to do with the flytraps?

I had a pitcher plant too last year. When it started to die back I stuck it in a Styrofoam cooler and put it in the garage (I'm in MN and even in the cooler it probably got too cold). A little over a month ago I took it out of 'hibernation' and started watering it again. Nothing... It's deader then dirt, I've been watering a bare pot for a month now. I've been to several carnivorous plant sites and have been reading up but just can't seem to get the hang of it.
