try ordering them off ebay, they require damp soil

How does the plant's digestive juices not digest itself? Is it becuase of mucus just like the stomach?

Hm.. I don't think so... the digestive juice of the plant contains only proteolitic enzymes. The plant cells are protected by the sugarry cell wall.. I think that's the reason

I sometimes wonder if those types of plants are self-aware.

Not really. The mechanism is very simple. Dionea muscipula simply removes water from it's cells rapidilly, which causes it to close ...

I don't think so, plants , just like animals, are intelligent organisms.Pro ANTHONY TREWAVAS had given us a wonderful review paper titled'Aspects of Plant Intelligence'Annals of Botany 92: 1-20, 2003
