Don't cover it; it just isn't necessary, and having a tight cover
combined with the light it needs to grow well will bake it. If your are
is very dry, you can grow it in a small aquarium with the top
*uncovered*, so that some extra humidity will be held around it.

I grow all my N. American carnivorous plants outside; I have a large tray
and the pots stand in the tray, which is kept filled with about 1 inch of
water all the time (well, sometimes more if we get lots of rain, and
sometimes less if I am lazy). That way they always stay moist and get
the full sun they want.
Good luck!
