With a little research, you'll be able to find reptiles that will thrive in similar evironments... temperature, humidity, light, radiation requirements, etc. You cannot mix species with different requirements, becuase you will kill whichever animals are not being properly provided for. In the case of turtles, you cannot mix Sliders with reptiles. Sliders are 100% aquatic turtles. They require a large volume of water to swim, eat, and sleep in. The water they live in requires heavy filtration or frequent total water changes. Above all else, lizards and other reptiles are basically aquatic turtle food, and Sliders will exhaust themselves trying to catch whatever living creatures you add to their habitat. You may find a specie of tortoise or other land-turtle that can peacefully cohabitat with other reptiles. Good luck with your new setup.
