Saw this guy in a garden center. I regularly pass over the big box guys, but this one looked to be uniform enough to make me think it might be a sport. I dont know much about carnivores and next to nothing on fly traps, so im not sure what's normal variation in form vs. what is significant enough to be a mutation. Any help is appreciated, and I did get him anyways 🙂

You won’t know until they’re being grown in proper conditions.
That looks a little more intense than normal waviness to me. I think you had a good find.
They look highly light starved and very sad. The way you can tell is the signature small traps with huge leaves as that is a sign. Your plant is trying to take in as much light as possible and not care as much about catching bugs in order to survive. But as far as I know they look like a normal Venus flytrap and don’t look like any cultivar I’m aware of. The serracenias I know a bit more of and I would encourage you to put them in more sunlight to see if they change in colour as it looks like a purpurea and normally those do not look green unless they are not given enough light but I could be wrong and if I am then I highly encourage people to correct me and any other mistakes I made of made in my judgement of these plants.
He’s gorgeous 😍
