I use tape, but put it across the wire at the bottom of the probe.

The color of the tape will make it read differently, under the basking light. A dark color will make it read hotter, a light color will make it read cooler.
Also, I would be afraid of the heat cooking the glue on the tape, and making a sticky mess.
