I agree with Pappy-dew totally about the daylight CFLs. Look for something in the 5000k-6500k range. They'll provide the best spectrum for CPs. Preparation as far as I know for VFT dormancy is usually recommended to let them go through a couple light frosts before putting them in the fridge. Those who grow them indoors I think try to provide a steady drop in temp and photoperiod over a few weeks then put them in a baggie and fridge them. They tend to grow lower lying leaves/traps when temps are mild and the photo period is short. The taller, more upright leaves seem to be a reaction to higher temps and more intense light.
It is true that most people say to grow VFTs "well" you need to grow them outside. I say that's hogwash. If you provide them with enough light, the right substrate and water, I belive they can do just fine indoors. It just takes a little more care with the specifics.
As for the ventricosa... I might have skimmed over it if you mentioned temps in the original post, but one of the reasons ventricosa is so popular is because it is so robust. The night time drop in temp is arguably helpful, but from all my research and my still limited experience, not strictly necessary. Mine gets about a 5 degree drop at night and is absolutely thriving. Again, I think the main things here are enough light, the right substrate and pure water. A few bugs now and again don't hurt either. =) For this one, I would recommend keeping the temperature around 80ish. They can adjust to a wide range of humidity levels, but remember that the higher the humidity, the more air circulation is needed. I would try to keep it at 50% or higher as a rule, but I think your froggies would want it higher than that anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem.
If your temps are going to be consistently 85ish or higher, I would look into low land neps as Pappy suggested. The thing to keep in mind with this group is that they like high temps and humidity all the time.
