One leo can be housed comfortably in a 10 gallon tank as long as it has access to the proper heat gradiant, hides, water, etc. The easiest, cleanest, and cheapest substrate to use is paper towels but it is not your only option. Many people freak out over sand, but as long as your leo is an adult, fed out of a dish (or handfed), and has access to calcium powder (just put it in the food dish) then it is a very suitable substrate. Use repti-sand or some other very fine grained product...avoid things like calci-sand or other course sands. I've used both papertowels and sand with my geckos, and have recently switched back to sand because it looks nicer and allows me to pickup the geckos' messes without having to shift around the entire tank. If you get a younger gecko and/or don't want to feed out of a dish, then papertowels would be your best bet.
