Not sure about reptiles specifically but I know black walnut is a fairly toxic tree.  We have to be careful in the horse world not to get any black walnut shavings in our bedding because its toxic and I remember reading that the tree itself secretes toxins in the ground to prevent other plants from growing close by it.

I believe ceder is generally a no no along with pines.
