OH MY GOSH REXPO IS THIS COMING WEEKEND!!
Rochester Armory
900 E Main St, Rochester, NY 14604
I'm absolutely swamped with preparations for REXPO, but I'll be bringing lots of fun stuff with me this year, from Captive Bred animals to substrate! From leaf litter to isopods that love leaf litter! I'll also have gecko feeding supplies, gecko diet, and more! As usual, I'll have my special gift bags for the first 20 customers to make purchases! Please stop by and say hi!
August 9th, 2018:
As of August 31st, 2018, beyond the state of New York, I will not be shipping Poecilotheria species: P. fasciata; P. ornata; P. smithi; P. subfusca; and P. vittata.
July 16th, 2018:
I've been really busy with life in general, but I had a chance to do a bit of updating! All my tarantulas have moulted. I guess someone sent out the moulting memo! I'm really excited to announce that I'll be vending at the first annual Saratoga Springs Reptile Expo in May of 2019!! I'm looking forward to this venture, as the Founders have expressed their desire to keep their expo ALL CAPTIVE BRED ANIMALS ONLY! This means no one that deals in Wild Caught species (or worry for your animals contracting mites/zoonotic disease!!), and small, independent, mom and pop type companies!
April 28th, 2018:
REXPO was fantastic, as usual!! It took me quite a while to recover, but I'm almost there! I added a couple species to my Tarantula list, updated my availability, and prices! One of my Leachianus babies went home with their new family today, and my last (available) Leachianus baby goes home next week to its new keeper. It's very bittersweet. I know they will be loved and adored, and I trust their families will do fantastic! I have no doubts that they will recieve the very best care in their hands!
February 16th, 2018:
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! Gong hei fat choi! Xin nian kuai le! I hope this Year of the Dog brings you much prosperity and good fortune!! I've updated the Available Animals page with a couple of the imports that arrived. I'll be getting a shipment of Grammostola pulchra in soon, as well!
February 5th, 2018:
Hello, everyone!! I'm happy to announce that I've got most of my inventory recorded and listed!! Please check the Available Animals link for my current list! I'll be listing available snakes in the next day or two. I've also begun a mailing list so I can email interested parties! If you're interested in signing up, please go to my Contact page and send me your email address! You can also include any wishlist species that you're looking for and I'll put a sticky note on my computer to remind me to look for you! Thank you so much!
Please come and visit me at REXPO, even if it's just to introduce yourself! I would love to meet you!
Welcome to the Nocturnal Gallery, LLC!
"Teach our children to love every creature, big and small; two legs, four legs, even more, or none at all."
- Melissa Brush, Nocturnal Gallery
I began this website in earnest to share my love of nocturnal creatures with others and nurture a love and respect for these oft misunderstood animals. I also take in tarantulas or invertebrates that need homes in the event someone can no longer take care of them. They will have a home here with me forever, I will not resell them.
I am an Authorized Dealer for the following:
Repashy Gecko Diet and Supplements
Black Panther Zoological Gecko Diet, Dry Goods, occasionally plants
Salutations!
May 15, 2022
Greetings and Salutations, everyone! I hope you're all doing well. The egg laying has begun for my geckos, so I'm excited to see what this year's limited pairings bring. Take care, be well, see everyone soon, hopefully!
January 11, 2021
I'm still hanging in there, pandemic aside! I don't ship during winter, but I'm still available for local meet-ups at our store. Please message me if you're interested in a list of available animals. I'll be updating my website gradually when I can find the time. Please take care, be safe, and I hope your health is good!
September 17, 2019
Sadly, I must step back from the tarantula hobby for the time being to refocus my energy and efforts upon my husband's business. Perhaps in a couple years, once his business is established, I'll be able to return! For now, feel free to inquire about tarantulas; I still have some stock, but my focus will be on geckos (and outreach). I will not be closing my LLC, however, and I will still be a vendor for Repashy, and I will always be available for help with animal husbandry, to assist with rehousing tarantulas, advice, and judgment-free support and encouragement!
