You hear a lot of stories of people having to pull fiber out of the back end of a gecko, but it shouldn't be a problem if you don't feed on it. I know you don't like the idea of peat/sand, but it sure is a lot easier for leos. Cocofiber is a forest substrate, which usually requires the use of plants and/or decomposers (pillbugs, snails, etc) to keep clean. With sand, you can just scoop up the poop. You'll always have some left behind to mold with fiber. I'm not trying to be discouraging, just letting you know what works best for the animal.
