Answers:
I have one myself, but you really don't need a terranium. Though, I can see why you'd want one. The source I've listed is EXCELLENT. Told me everything I needed to know and then some, but it is also written in a humorous style. And remember not to give it tap water, as tap water has too much salt in it. Give it rainwater or distilled water.
They do not thrive in a terrarium.
They will probably wither and die.
The Venus Flytrap is found in nitrogen-poor environments, such as bogs. Although it has been successfully transplanted and grown in many locales around the world, the Venus flytrap is found natively only in North and South Carolina in the United States; one such place is North Carolina's Green Swamp. The nutritional poverty of the soil is the reason that the plant relies on such elaborate traps: insect prey provide the nitrogen for protein formation that the soil cannot. The Venus flytrap is not a tropical plant and can tolerate mild winters.
Good luck!
