Pine would not be my first choice not because it is bad for reptiles (its the oil, and fine if its sealed). I wouldn't use it cause it is prone to warping and other wood associated problems. Birch or Baltic Birch would be my first choice, oak is just to expensive. If you need a cheap non flat surface (accurate flat surface) than pine will be fine. I use a higher grade pine ply in a lot of my projects, not furniture.
Depends on your use.
