I think you will find it difficult to maintain separate and distinctly defined niches in such a small area. How would you control something like humidity into separate sharply defined areas? You can spot control temperatures with under-tank heating, but how about air temperature?
I hope you don't intend to feed all those animals together in that one cage. Triggering a feed response with multiple different types of animals all together in a confined space may turn ugly on you.
Just my opinion, but although what you likely have in your mind probably seems like a really cool idea, in practice I think you are setting yourself up for headaches and disappointments.
Perhaps trying to find animals that at least have similar environmental constraints might have a better chance of being successful for you. But you are still going to run into the problem that herps don't tend to be communal animals in normal and continuous circumstances. They are not exactly "sharing" kinds of animals. And snake CAN eat another snake, and sometimes will. Lord knows I have enough instances of baby corn snakes eating each other over the years. No it is not common, but it DOES happen.
I do hate to be throwing a rainstorm on your parade, though. But I think you really need to give this more thought.
