Get some eastern water skinks, active and quite interactive with you. not for handling but a great small skink.

If you want to get into some lizards other than geckos, there are lots of options with varying amounts of input required from you. The available range varies from small monitors, to skinks, to dragons to pygopods. Some are dead easy to keep and others present some serious challenges. The size of the enclosure you have will limit the potential range of occupants but you still need to decide if you want an “easy” lizard or are experienced and prepared to take on something that is more demanding. Knowing this will help people make appropriate recommendations.

It sounds like you want something that will not increase expenditure. That being the case, most dragons are out. Skinks are an option if you can provide then with several hoursof sunlight over the week while they are actively growing. Nocturnal pygopods are a good option. Monitors, large or small, required an intense basking area with a structure that grades downwards in temperature from this.
