Dear Jesse,

   I doubt that would help you much. But along those lines: You
could use a small (pint) sized jug and freeze it during the day (or you
could use two) and place it in the terrarium at night. That should
help to cool the air better than the ice cubes, which is what you want.
If you were growing Darlingtonia though, I'd say go with the ice cubes
as they need the soil kept cool/cold, but not Nepenthes.
