im pretty sure it would work the same after all it is under the tank and isnt in the water. ive had 3 red eared slidders in my life but have never dealt with a water dragon cage being used for sliders though but i was just thinking out loud. good luck i hope you find someone who knows more. it may work but dont just take my word

I wouldn't recommend it....it could cause cracks in your tank.

As long as the sliders have a heated basking area, I wouldn't worry about heating the water.

Most UTH temps are around 90' which is way too hot for those turtles anyway.
