Our Story

Crafted in Britain,
Built for Reptiles

We're a British brand designing and manufacturing premium reptile supplies with sustainability at the heart of everything we do.

From Passion to Purpose

KAIKO was born from a simple observation: reptile keepers deserve products that are as thoughtfully designed as the habitats they create. Every bowl, hide, and accessory we produce is designed and manufactured right here in the United Kingdom.

What started as a product line within Silkworm Store Limited, our sister company, quickly became something bigger. The response from the reptile community was overwhelming — keepers recognised the difference that British-made quality and species-specific design could make to their setups.

That success gave us the confidence to launch KAIKO as a standalone brand, with a clear mission: to become one of the most respected names in the reptile industry, not through shortcuts, but through craft.

What Drives Us

Three principles guide every product we create and every decision we make.

Sustainability First

Environmental responsibility isn't an afterthought — it's woven into our process from material selection to packaging. We actively seek out sustainable materials and manufacturing methods that minimise our footprint.

British Craftsmanship

Every KAIKO product is designed and manufactured in the UK. We work with local materials and skilled manufacturing partners to ensure every piece meets the highest standards of quality and durability.

Species-Specific Design

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Each product is researched and engineered for specific reptile species, because a bearded dragon's needs are completely different from a ball python's.

What began as a collection of handcrafted products for Silkworm Store has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined. KAIKO is our commitment to the reptile community — a promise that British-made, sustainably produced products can also be the very best in the world.

The Silkworm Store Legacy

Before KAIKO existed as its own brand, our products first found their home through Silkworm Store Limited — a trusted name in the exotic pet community. It was there that we learned what keepers truly needed.

The feedback was immediate and encouraging. Customers appreciated the attention to detail, the natural aesthetics, and above all, the quality that comes from UK manufacturing. Demand grew rapidly, and it became clear that these products deserved a dedicated brand and identity.

KAIKO was the answer — a brand built to carry that legacy forward, with the ambition and focus to push even further into innovation, sustainability, and design excellence.
