here's the thing OP, it's hard to tell if you're going to have any success or not, but what you've done is based on pretty concrete principles, and for that I commend you.
Coir is pretty contam resistant, so there's a really good chance you'll get that fully colonized and fruited.
for future reference, consider properly pasteurizing or hell even boiling. with coir, the cooking process (i think) is to make it a little more accessible to the mycellium. (whereas with other substrates the pasteurization process is more so to kill off bad guys and leave the good guys(micro-organisms))
also consider, getting those cakes ground up a little better and more evenly mixed throughout the sub.
I rooting for ya! I'm pulling for the lizard.

Aha that was actually my other question. Should I crush those up some more, which I guess I should. They were in little chunks not so ground up, and my jackass friend tipped the box yesterday which I think helped with the clumping. Thanks guys for answering.

o wow im mad that i didn't notice that question Monkey. I did a bootleg pasteurization in a container because i had no bucket and i would've been killed for using the pot again. So i guess i can say i attempted to pasteurize but not sure if i worked

well, like I said, with coir the pasturization if more focused on "cooking" the coir, apparently the mycelium will gobble it up easier, there aren't any real beneficial micro-organisms, which makes high heat an option for coir!
