Humidity could be a factor, but I have a question about your watering. It sounds like you may be drowning the plant. They like to stay moist, but not soggy. If you are keeping standing water in the root zone, they will drown. You may want to replace the bowl under the pot with a saucer. I am assuming you are in a 2.5 - 4" pot like they are sold in at most large box retailers. A saucer will allow the media to wick water from a shallow saucer or dish. Also, peat and play sand will compress overtime and has to be replaced at least yearly. I prefer 50/50 peat and perlite. A little vermiculite wouldn't hurt, but is harder to come by and not a required component. You need a media that will drain well, but still hold moisture and air. This is probably a problem for later though. The book "The Savage Garden" may be of interest to you if you wish to learn more about these types of plants.
Also, as pole said the traps only close a few times (2-4 usually). Feeding once a month is more than enough. If you do feed (probably not needed) use only insects (dried mill worms work OK in small enough pieces or crushed). Never, ever feed meat like you would eat (beef, pork, etc) the fat content is too high and it will cause the traps to rot.
