Default Would my newts be better on sand?

I've just read someone suggesting keeping sand in the tank instead of gravel or pebbles! As i've never heard of this and find it interesting would this sand be better for my newts than the pebbles? as their food falls between the pebbles and rots which means alot of stress for my newts with constant cleaning.

if so, where can i get this sand?
