Venus Fly Trap?

[serialzombie]

I'm considering a naturalistic vivarium for my Crested Gecko, Caillou.

I plan on using Nepenthes, Saracenia, an orchid and/or bromeliad. But I think a Venus Fly Trap would also be an interesting choice.

Would anyone be concerned that Caillou would be too slow (mentally or physically) to prevent himself getting his toe, or tail, caught in the traps?

I have little doubt he'd have the physical strength to extricate himself, but what if it spooks him?

I, personally, wouldn't do it, just in case.

The traps won't be strong enough to harm him, but I doubt the Flytrap or the Sarracenia will do well, they both need very bright light, and also require a cold dormant period to survive.

I intend on using a sufficiently powerful full spectrum plant light, and removing them for their appropriate cooling period. This has naturally limited my choice in orchids.

It's not my first plant rodeo! I actually started with plants, and moved to geckos. I've always been particularly interested in epiphytes and carnivorous plants.
