(70s-80s) a lot of keepers used pine shavings, including myself. Never had a death, but some individual snakes reacted badly-sniffling, mouth open breathing, etc... Once aspen became commonly available, almost everyone switched to it. Even though it was slightly more expensive, its numerous advantages greatly outweighed the expense. Now, I would not use anything else (except cypress in some cases).
As a former reptile/pet shop owner, I have seen (among my customers) MANY reptile deaths from cedar!
