My gravid females are not always consistant in their thermoregulation in comparison to each other. Some will park on the heat and seem to stay there ... some will bounce back and forth more like what you describe.

I think all we can really do is make sure they have an adequately sized hot spot (big enough for them to curl up and have most of their body on it) that is heated up to the correct temperatures (87 - 92 range approximately). The rest is up to them...
