Cephalotus and Humidity

Hi guys!!
This would be my first post here, I live in quite a windy dessert area at the north of Mexico and share the same weather as Arizona, I have a few droseras, 2 spatulata and 4 pygmies that have been doing wonderfully under the low humidity and high wind speeds we sometimes get, and a venus that has acclimated as well.

I recently Got two cephalotus and I would like to know what would be the best option to keep them and how to avoid the infamous sudden death syndrome.
The cephalotus are barely a year old, and I have them with humidity dome at the moment while they adapt to their new natural light and temperature.

I have a terrarium I can keep them in that is situated in a place that has dappled sunlight all day, the highest temperatures we get here at the moment is of 30c and at night it drops to 20 c.

Due to the constant wind we barely have cloudy days and humidity is a myth. So wich method would be the best for them?
Should I put them in the terrarium or slowly acclimate them to the humidity outside their humidity domes?

They're not plants you're going to be able to grow outside. They cannot be acclimated to Sonoran conditions, as they expect a cool Mediterranean climate and will die without it. Summer temperatures especially with warm nights will be intolerable, so this is something that needs an indoor setup.
