Talking Help! Boaphile cages and thermostat probe placement...

Ok, my roommate just got a 5 stack of the Boaphile 321s with the 1.0 heat tape option. The heat tape is glued directly to the outside bottom of one side of the cage. My question is...just exactly where do you place the thermostat probe? There are NO cutouts, slots, or recesses on the outside cage surface where a probe could sit and be in contact with the heat tape. Other than placing the probe inside the cage (which my roommate doesn't really want to do), how do you get the probe close enough to the heat tape to get accurate temp readings AND not have it create a lump and raise the cage up? I saw something about placing the probe along the bottom crease of the side panel indent...but that's a good inch away from the edge of the heat tape. How accurate is that placement? Any thoughts??????
