Like I said before, I don't even keep the humidity artificially high for Drosera seeds, but yes, if you do, you should remove them from the germination container gradually as Tael describes. This will minimize the chance of shock, though, as Tael said, D. capensis are pretty tough.

I really like the yellow on those plants, are they supposed to be like that? I think it gives it some nice color to it. Very vibrant

Well, they do kind of have a yellow-green, like a limey green colour like most CPs do, however that photo really exaggerates it. These guys are actually red capensis, so with any luck they'll be all red (or rather, strong enough lighting). Here's what they look like in natural light:
