We offer a wide selection of hinges, mesh tops, lighting enclosures, wood framing and more! A terrarium could have sliding glass doors, or hinged glass doors, both with the option of locks to keep the pets inside the cage and little children outside. Wire mesh tops, or hinged wire mesh tops, are convenient for animals that are frequently fed or handled. An enclosure at the top of your terrarium is an excellent way to conceal all of the unsightly cords, heat lamps, light fixtures, and misting systems that are required for your animal or animals.

🚨11 YEARS AGO TODAY!🚨
Cornel’s World stepped into the Den… šŸ‰

On this day back in Season 9 of CBC’s Dragon’s Den, we pitched our dream — turning a passion for reptiles and custom enclosures into a full-time business. It was the moment that took us from a garage-based side hustle to a full-fledged company with a commercial space, a growing team, and customers across Canada and the United StatesšŸŒŽ

It’s been one wild ride since then, but our heart hasn’t changed — we’re still a family-run small business with a love for reptiles and a commitment to quality and customer service.

To everyone who’s supported us along the way: thank you for helping us build this dream. šŸ™šŸ’š

A Couple of glass terrariums and a PVC clad Steel Framed stand we delivered last week for some pretty rare plants. This was a cool project and not something we have done before but something that we could do more of for sure. The Front Panels will hide the lighting and are held in place with rare earth magnets giving it a nicer finished look but with the strength of the steel to support both large enclosures. Should work really well for the customer.

We love taking on your custom orders. Let us know what you are looking for today!

Our Story

Welcome to Cornel’s World, where an animated group of reptile aficionados bring Animal Planet’s audiences up close to these animals as they work together with reptile owners to strip away the ordinary walls of their pet’s terrarium and transform them into custom-made masterpieces that cater to their reptile’s unique needs and personality. For this crew of reptile lovers, led by shop owner Greg West and his wife and creative designer, Elaine, it’s not just about the terrarium but showcasing the incredible reptiles that occupy these tailor-made enclosures and enlightening others on how to properly care for these amazing creatures. SCALED premieres Friday, August 24 at 9PM ET/PT.

Each week viewers follow the crew of master builders, habitat designers, self-proclaimed reptile nerds and their 3-legged bearded dragon and shop mascot, Kevin, as they dive into the needs and behaviors of reptiles to design one-of-a-kind terrariums that promote their well-being and bring their multifaceted personalities to life through stunning visual and behavioral elements. Through lively ā€˜meet and geek-out’ consultation sessions with clients, the crew creates the best natural environment to keep the pet happy with special features and appliances, from water misters and drainage tubes to special reptile hides and proper vegetation.

The season premiere of SCALED kicks off with Greg, Elaine and the team building a Mayan temple themed rain forest for a special beloved community of dart frogs. Together, the crew works tirelessly to bring the natural jungle environment to the frogs by creating a fully functioning bio-active eco-system within the terrarium. Other episodes this season will include extraordinary themed terrariums, featuring everything from mobsters & gangsters to princesses, a one-of-a-kind post-apocalyptic dinosaur wasteland, and even an Avatar inspired enclosure that will take you out of this world!
