2 new prototype designs for water/food dishes. The smaller ones are 3d printed for 0.5oz deli cups, and the larger are for 8-16oz deli cups for larger food/water dishes made from pvc. These should be pretty popular add ons to cage orders.

Should have the 3d printed ones ready to go in the next couple of days once the suction cups arrive to design the holes and will also will come with screw holders to fit in the suction cup holes so they can be removed if needed for cleaning etc.

Some examples of some of the vinyl backgrounds we have done over the last few years.

Looking for something a little more than a black box for your reptile but don't want to go full blown background? Vinyl backgrounds are the perfect solution. They are affordable, can add a bit of realism, and are affordable compared to full backgrounds.

Check them out on our website today and add a background to your next order.

A 3d Printed new item being added to our website. Perch holders. These are a new design to simplify customers being able to add pvc perches to their enclosure. These can be printed similar to a closet rod hanger or with an added anti-spin block that keep the perch in place. The anti-spin requires the perch to have a 1/4" notch on each end of the bottom but is a great feature for sure.

These will be added to the new website once it is fixed and live.

A new project we completed in December in collaboration with .shop who is outfitting the interior of this cage.

This cage is taking some design features the customer liked of a US company and adding a little extra with 3d adjustable sliding vents in the front and vinyl background to the interior.

We have recently added the option to add the interiors on our website if you hadn't noticed with a lot of stock images we have purchased over the years and also the option of printing custom backgrounds, or ordering other stock backgrounds as well. This cage is lit up with the Arcadia Lumenize UV and LED lighting and the interior just pops. It looks almost 3d in person.

https://www.cornelsworld.com/product/vinyl-backgrounds-for-pvc-caging/ is the link for the vinyl backgrounds for those who are interested.

We love doing these custom designs and look forward to our next project.

A couple custom enclosures we did for a customer at the BC Reptile Expo in September. She provided a sketch of what she was hoping to have the enclosures look like with blue and black and we gave her the option of either vinyl graphics or inset panels. She ultimately went with the inset panels and they turned out great.

We love taking on new challenges and love to customize the enclosures to suit the animals and the owners. These ones turned out great. Also we did a small hide hanger for the crested gecko that is residing in the 2x2x3 unit and glad to hear it is using it lots.

Send us an email if you are looking for something custom today!

Hey there! Check out these cool custom enclosures we whipped up for a customer at the BC Reptile Expo back in September. She came in with a sketch of her vision featuring some blue and black vibes, and we offered her a choice between vinyl graphics or inset panels. In the end, she went for the inset panels, and they came out looking awesome!

We really enjoy tackling new projects and love giving the enclosures a personal touch that fits both the critters and their humans. These ones turned out pretty sweet! Plus, we made a little hide hanger for the crested gecko hanging out in the 2x2x3 unit, and we’re super happy to hear it’s getting plenty of use.

If you’re on the lookout for something custom, just shoot us an email!

Alright, Radiant Heat Panels stand out from ceramic heat emitters but how do they stack up to a classic heat pad? 🔥

Radiant Heat Panels are perfect for overhead heating, mimicking the sun’s natural warmth and ideal for arboreal reptiles. 🌞

Heat Pads provide direct belly heat, great for terrestrial reptiles that need constant warm spots. 🌡️ But, this can be challenging when a heat pad or heat tape for that matter, has to heat through the enclosure material, and the layer of substrate to warm your reptile!

Whether it’s a radiant panel from above or a heat pad below, make sure your reptile’s home mimics their natural environment for optimal health! 🦎

Drop a comment: Are you an under or overhead heat, kind of keeper?

Radiant Heat Panels are a 🔥 hot new basking spot set up for your reptiles!

I use them myself, especially in my PVC enclosures as they act like natural sunlight by radiating heat downwards and warming surfaces evenly.

While basking bulbs and ceramic heat emitters are also effective, and function the same, they require higher wattage and concentrate heat in smaller areas. For larger animals like my boa, this often means using multiple bulbs.

In contrast, Radiant Heat Panels provide a broader, more even heat distribution, reducing the risk of burns for your pets.

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 ‘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!
