I would agree with Mike, if she is getting off the eggs periodically, the overhead heat is probably warming her body too much and she is moving off the eggs and away from the heat source to cool her body back down to avoid overheating the egg mass. It's difficult to get the humidity too high with burmese eggs, unless they are actually standing in pooled water. Move the heat source to another area of the cage away from her and monitoring the ambient temps around her at body level. That contraction rate tells me that the temps may be just slightly high where she is nesting.
