Dormant Venus fly traps.

Hello experienced #venusflytrap friends. I do not have experience with Venus fly traps, so I was wondering if this coloring (yellowish/orangish/reddish) is normal during dormancy? Just for a little info, I live in the PNW Washington, so they say these conditions are similar to its native environment. I do bring them into my unheated laundry room at night though, and bring them back outside during the day so they get whatever light they can. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #dormancy #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub

Hi! When my vfts go dormant, typically the largest traps just slowly turn black until there's just tiny traps left (I'll attach photos of them). If the plant seems overall healthy besides the yellow leaves (like a white rhizome, petioles aren't wrinkled), it should be alright.
The long yellow ones are the new leaves it grew before it went dormant BTW.
Thank you @Merranda for your reply. They seem fine so I'll worry less. ๐Ÿ˜€
