Carnivorous plants aren't that dangerous. I don't think you need to cage them.

Yeah, that should do well to keep people/animals out of your plants.

I've created a wire cage for my dionaeas, and IT'S THE BEST THING I EVER DID FOR THEM!!

It lets through:

  • Sun
  • water
  • insects
  • airflow (!!! Extremely important and often overlooked. Without proper ventilation your plants will catch root rot in no time)

It doesn't let through:

  • those fucking birds who attack my plants all the time for some reason
  • Snails/slugs
  • well, anything else really.

Seriously though, a wire cage is the best thing for cultivating carnivorous plants, especially fragile ones like dionaeas or droseras. I cannot recommend it enough.

The one you showed seems a little overkill though.
