Paper towels work great for my baby leo. If you scroll back a few pages in the forum, there are about a dozen different threads on substrates ranging from 'is this okay' to 'poll: post your substrate'. Some of it's interesting reading. Not as controversial as the "Is this a Stripe" posts, but still a good read 
(scroll down a bit, you'll see what I mean)
The general consensus is: avoid granular, loose substrates and stick with paper towels/newspaper/slate, especially when they're young.
Good luck with your leo.

It is extremely cost effective, and not hard at all to maintain. I use 3 layers of newspaper in the bottom of my rack tubs. Paper towel is also a good option, it looks a little nicer, but it isn’t free. Hope this helps,

"I read newspaper ....."
You're right. Read newspaper, J/K
I use paper towels for my hatchlings and all the rest of the leos I have for sale for the sake of my customers that may prefer the sterile look. I personally use sand for all of my breeding stock. They like it better and they are also my pets. If they are not happy, I'm not happy.
