I've never thought of growing Masdies terrestrially. I didn't know you could do that.
With the top of your viv open, you can safely use direct light, but since you are using Masdies, I would reccomend against it as temps would still rise. If the top were closed, the temps would skyrocket to lethal levels.
I don't see any reason why the other Masdies you have listed would not do well. But expect them to throw a fit at first. The change can even kill them. The one you have sounds happy where it is. I would not move it. I mounted mine because I had no emotional attachments to them, they were all new to me, and I had 4, so I figured I'de get my monies worth if at least 1 survived. Happily most have survived if not all 4.
