That is entirely up to you. I would throw the BioOrb in the garbage and get a proper rectangular aquarium that can be cleaned and serviced properly thereby keeping my fish healthier and happier.

The BiOrb retailers recommend at least 24 hours, and I would say definitley no less time than this. I was advised at 3 days, and I have now had 3 fish in my BiOrb for 2 weeks with no water or filtration problems.
Petco has them, so I'm sure Petsmart does as well. Amazon also has them. There is also an online store called Everything Biorb that has them, as well as a store Biorb Fish Tank, which is also online only.
BiOrb aquariums can be purchased through Amazon and other online retailers. I am sure your local petshop would sell at least one variety of BiOrb aquariums.
I would imagine so reviews are often wrong, I was told for my baby biorb to get 1 betta fish. I have successfully cared for 2 angel fish, a molly, a pleco and currently a tropical parrot fish. I would be very surprised if a biorb could not support a newt.
Yes
The BiOrb kits can be purchased in-store and online at PetSmart and PetCo. The service kits are also sold at third party websites like Amazon and FishFriend.
The biorb fish tank is made of glass or plexiglass like other fish tanks, except it has a ceramic filter inside so that when the fish uses the bathroom, it sucks it out quickly.
I am not sure of the absolute mathematical sizing, but I can recommend my 4 gallon tank which I think is one of the more convenient sized ones. I have a 30cm by 30cm round fish tank made by BiOrb - it is a baby biorb.
remove the sand then put dirt there
You could probably use sand but you would have to have a hard surfaced area somewhere in the tank to put food on. If you put the food on the sand the sand will get on the food and in the snakes mouth. So put the food on the hard surfaced area.
Because water is better to use to put out fires than sand.
