I wouldn't even attach the probes to anything. Just tuck the probe under the side of the hide. It won't bother the snake at all and you can move it for cleaning, etc. They do poop on probes LOL. A baby butt wipe btw is the best way to clean a probe without ruining it. Also if you feed live pull the probes out. I had to learn the hard way and ruined a few Acu-Rites long ago before I figured that one out LOL.
