Yes, the sand holding heat is an important point! I had difficulty getting the heat just right for the first few days. Luckily I have a large enough brooder that they could move away easily if it was too hot. My 250 watt bulbs were too hot and I had to buy 125 watt bulbs to get the right temperature, since I could only raise them so much.
