About Cornel's World

What began as a small woodworking shop in Calgary, Alberta, driven by a deep love for reptiles and their care, has grown into one of North America's leading makers of custom reptile caging and terrariums.

Since 2000, our founder and small family team have put hands-on reptile knowledge and woodworking craft together to build enclosures that don't just house animals. They become homes.

Today Cornel's World ships across Canada and the United States, helping keepers everywhere create safe, beautiful, and practical habitats. From a cozy starter enclosure to a zoo-ready installation, no project is too small or too ambitious.

• Craft meets know-how. Every cage and terrarium we build reflects decades of hands-on experience with reptiles.
• Everything it needs. Lighting, heating, substrate, and decor, so a habitat is complete.
• Built for your animal. Enclosures designed around your species, your space, and your style.
• Family owned. We work with care and integrity, and we want every keeper to succeed.
• Seen on screen. Featured on Dragons' Den and Animal Planet's Scaled.

A first-time keeper looking for a starter setup, an experienced hobbyist planning a custom vivarium, or a zoo or school that needs a large installation: Cornel's World builds for all of them.

Zoos, museums, universities, and film crews have trusted us with their animals' homes. See what we build to order.

We don't just build cages. We build homes. Whether you need a custom enclosure, a complete kit, or advice on care, we're here to help every step of the way.
