Can I use kitchen linoleum as a substrate for the cage bottom? I had plenty left over for cage.

it should be fine. I would test it in another cage to make sure it doesn't melt.

The surface is a little slick and they are not moving around as well. They are not helpless or anything. Should I put sand on one side of the cage?

are they young ones?
by not moving around well do you mean like falling?

try sanding the top of the tile to rough it up so they don't slip. If you can't do that, don't use the tile. As far as sand....how old are your leos? If they are small, do NOT use ANY sand. If they are adults, you can use a small amount of sand at the end of the tank where the tile doesn't fit...if you do that, make sure they don't lick at it, and that you only feed foods that you can keep in a dish so they don't eat on the sand.
