it should be inside the hide that is directly under/over the heat source.

Don’t adhere it to any surfaces. It’s not necessary, and you’ll have to unstick them anyway to clean the cage later on so it’s no use. Just place the base unit on one side of the tank, standing upright on the substrate, and put the probe under the hide on the other side. If you have a loose substrate, maybe bury it slightly so it doesn’t move around much. But yeah, don’t stick it to the sides of the tank or anything. The idea is to have accurate temperature readings, and for that, you need to have the readings from where the snake is. Which is on the ground of the cage and in the hides.

Nope, how could it? They don’t even notice it.
