You can put a gecko lizard in sand but you have to watch out because they like to dig in it and hide. Gecko lizards are small so when they dig in the sand and hide you wont be able to see it until a very long time.

∙ 10y agoSand is the leading cause for impaction. Once the animal ingests sand, it can build up in the digestive tracks and the animal won't be able to pass it. Once impacted, most animals will not eat or drink due to the pain and this can lead to death. Most breeders do not reccomend loose substrates for this reason.
Breeders reccomend papertowel or slate tile for desert environments or just papertowel for tropical environments.

Yes, a leopard gecko should not be dwelling on cold glass. They enjoy ambient temperatures of 95+ degrees. This can be done using a repti carpet/ Floor tiling.
