I currently have 2 types of Nepenthes(30 total),unusual bromeliads(9),tillandsia and succulents(10). If so, tell us about your plants and if possible show your pics too.
Does Anyone Keep Carnivorous Plants or Any type of unusual plants?

Depends upon the conditions where you plan to keep them. Most of the carnivorous plants need sunlight, humdity, water at room temperature and that has sat for 2-4 days depending on your tap water and of course BUGS. Some of the carnivorous plants are really easy to keep.
A few pics of my Exotic plant displays. The Plants next to the fish tanks are Miranda Nepenthes pitcher plants. The pitcher are taller than the tanks!!!! Hope you enjoy!! The displays are WILD, I know 
. These are some of my interpretations of nature. The first pic is the top of the 2nd. pics' display.(Showing the Purple Pitcher on left and the burgandy plant on right is the Cobra Lily) 
Here is a website that will blow your mind with the carnivorous plants. Especially the Nepenthes," Queen of Hearts." The pitchers are the size of a mans' head!!!! Carnivorous plants have been found with small birds, monkeys, frogs, rats and more inside the traps.http://www.borneoexotics.com/

HarlanAshmore, your country has one of the most desired carnivores in the world, the Australian Pitcher plant! Have you seen one? It is supposed to be near Albany. I always wanted to live in Australia, a Fine Hello from Atlanta, Georgia!!! Here's a Pic of your pitcher plant. 
I had Venus flytraps when I was a kid and I loved em. I would like to get a few again. Any reputable sites?
Unless you are looking for premium grade plants, I would just get them from your local Home depot, Ace Hardware,Walmart,Lowe's or local garden store. If they are not available yet, ask if they can order them. Here is a link from Borneo Exptics for retail stores:http://www.borneoexotics.com/aspx/uscust.aspx California Carnivores are also a nice place to buy from, the staff is willing to answer and give recommendations. The owner, Peter D'Amato, even responded to my email question, personally.
when I was younger I had a big venus fly trap for a long time. I used to feed it bits of hamburger. it did very well.
I've kept Venus Flytraps before but never pitcher plants,I'd like to though...I do have a few tropical houseplants such as Philodendron,Kalanchoe,I have a banana tree...I also have the plant that RayofSunshine has in the picture.The one with the dark green triangle shaped leaves with the lines in them but I can't remember the name of it.
