    I just secure the probe to the heating device, and don't put it in the cage. I take temps in the cage with a temp gun and adjust the thermostat to produce the right temps.

    In the few instances I've put probes for thermostats or thermometers in the cage, I don't secure them, I just stick them under the edge of the hide.

    I'm not sure if you guys have MicroCenter stores up there, but they have a cheap-o one for $10. So far the two I got have been working great. I keep probes in all my snake enclosures, but I use the temp gun for the leo's.

    I have these Velcro strips u can cut to however you want. I took a small piece and glue it to the probe then pit the other Velcro side on the bottom inside the tub then glue again. Now the probe and the ground have a piece of Velcro. After I have it in place I put a rock on top so the snake can't get at it.
