In my Opinion, change your substrate as soon as you can. With sand you face impaction and such.
You could use paper towel - easy to change but not too pleasing to look at
There's the critter carpet, just make sure that what you get doesn't hold alot of humidity.

I use repti bark. It looks awesome and the leos seem to love crawling around and lazing around on it. You can also clean it if you wanted to. People have said about impaction, but i've never had problems.
