Try a thorough wash with some soapy water (and a thorough rinse). Its not too much water - if the crown were underwater, it would be dead. There are 4 things that make sundews unhappy:

1. Not enough or too much sun
2. Not enough water
3. Not enough humidity
4. Bugs!

The twisty stems and leaves and lack of tentacles says sucky-bugs to me. You have the water and humidity covered. Sun? But that wouldn't cause the deformities - that is strictly a bug thing. You may have to repeat the soapy wash a couple times.

I found this article in BACPS Bulletin (Bay Area Carnivorous Plant Society):

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
