i use gravel but i think a newt would like sand because it is more comfortable and easy to walk on.

Gravel is in my opinion the worst choice from all the options...
Go for fine sand or bare bottom, it will make your life easier and your newts safer.

Agreed 100%!

I am a huge advocate of substrateless tanks for aquatic caudates.
