Question Cheap Reptiles

So the title is a bit misleading.

Currently I'm keeping a bearded dragon, two crested geckos, and two AFTs. They're all just pets, no breeding.

I do absolutely have money to take care of them and they are well cared for.

I was thinking of adding something new to my collection maybe 3+ months down the road, once I'm working a second job (I'm a college student).

Question is what reptiles in your experience have been less expensive to care for? Not the initial cost of the animal, but supplies and continuous expenses in keeping.

And just so I'm being clear, I know this is not an inexpensive hobby. Trust me, I spent $250 on a vet visit for my crested gecko last month (a lot for anyone, but especially a student).

I would like to try keeping a species I'm not keeping right now. Preferably lizard, but I am interested in keeping a snake, too.

Thank you for your time! And please understand I'm not trying to be cheap, just would like to try a new species that's long term care will not be super expensive.
