The coconut fiber is great for humidity but it does lightly stain their skin sometimes, and it's hard to find the pee spots. Aspen makes it easier to spot clean because stuff shows up better, but it is a little dry.
I used it for a corn snake for awhile. It's not great for humidity, so take that into consideration. If your house gets dry either from A/C in the summer or because it's drier in the winter (due to a low dew point outside, in addition to however much your heating system dries the air further), deeper coco chip/coir substrate will make humidity a lot easier to manage. If your house is generally 80+ and 60% humidity, I'm sure it would be fine.
