What kind of changes have you made in the last couple days?
Cold damage can express its self this way but it would have had to been exposed to very cold temperature to do this.

Do you think it could bounce back? I really don't want to lose it, it was my first actual carnivores plant

Have you changed the lighting, like putting it direct sunlight from a shadier place?
I've also seen aerosols do this to CP's.
It would have had to been something that happened in the last 48 hours to see damage like this that quickly.

As long as the root stock didn't get damaged it can come back. The tips are probably done for but it can throw out more shoots.

It used to get full sun for around 9 hours no it gets 8 so I don't think that's the problem. I'm going to leav it where I used to grow it on my window sill

Well I'm guessing it's the greenhouse, it must not get very warm overnight. This kinda sucks because that's how I was going to start my collection but I don't think it's going to work with the crappy weather I get here.

I'm not sure it's cold. If it was cold the whole shoot would turn that colour and not just the newer growth. I'm inclined to think disease since you had it in a greenhouse. The popup greenhouses I've seen don't have very good air circulation. Two weeks is plenty time for disease to get severe. Since the tip is dead, trim it back until the cut surface is completely green. Take a look at the stems you trimmed off. Are there any parts of the stem where you see a ring of brown inside surrounded by green? That could be a sign of rot/disease.

Ok, I cut one of them off and it was green on the inside, should I cut off all the brown parts? Or will they come back

Some of the old growth does have a very little amount of damage to I just noticed, but it's just like a very faint brown spot about 1cm in diameter on a few leaves
