Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Are there any Reptile Thermostats that make NO NOISE?
I litterally can't sleep because I keep my Rosies in my bedroom and the thermostat is clicking ALL night long.

I use mostly Spyder Robotics Herpstats and a couple of Helix thermostats and they make no noise. Maybe it's because they're proportional thermostats-- they don't just turn the heat source off and on and off and on...

Sounds like you have one of those on/off type Ranco's or something similar.
I used those for a while, but couldn't stand the clicking either.
I went all out and use Herpstat Pro proportional thermostats now.

There are certainly less pricey alternatives if you don't want to spend too much.

Must be a relay controlled thermostat. Any of the proportional thermostats will be noiseless. The zoomed 500r is non proportional but uses a triac and therefore also noiseless. I am partial to noiseless Herpstats myself. :^) Relay controlled thermostats do have their place such as controlling room heaters if the stat is rated high enough.

If its the round on top kind of Tstat, id be real careful with it as they are known to fail.
Good luck in searching though! there are a bunch of really nice ones mentioned already
