I've always wondered where one should place the probes in a Boaphile cage. I have some of the old style (heat inside) and new style (heat outside). I have always drilled a hole and placed the probe inside the cage, I glue the probe and cable down with silicone, I have some cages going on 3 maybe 4 years and I haven't had to re-glue the probes. I haven't had any problems.

I know that's not what you want to do but I didn't see any other way.

Do NOT use tape, never use tape inside a cage. I used tape in the long ago and it came up and became stuck to one of my snakes. It took me several hours to remove, I thought I was going to need to visit the vet and anesthetize the snake to remove the tape.
