To house any kind of reptile?

Yes

No

Yes, but only for certain species

This is to settle a disagreement I have with an individual on a different forum on a different topic.

Pine, from what I've heard, is currently under suspicion of putting off fumes that are dangerous to reptiles, just like cedar.

So no, even though results aren't conclusive yet, I wouldn't risk using it when there are so many other suitable options for substrates.
