As mentioned by the others, placing the probe on the heat source is the way to go. Look at reptile racks built by companies such as Reptile Basics. They have a channel cut specifically in the shelf to allow the thermostat probe to be placed on the heat tape. You will find you'll have to keep the temp of the heat source a fair bit higher than your actual desired temperature, as it will be heating up the glass bottom of your tank, and the bedding above it. Also have to fight against temp loss from the room ambient temp.
