Stuck Iggie

Hi to everyone
The past 4wks Iggie is either on her shelf or down on the floor digging/scratching at the door to get out. Its been constant!

Today Iggie got stuck in between the slats in my headboard.
I was gone for just about 15minutes, when I left she was on her shelf, when I got back she was not on her shelf.
I found her stuck between the wall and headboard and in between the slats.
I was able to get her out really fast, she had tried to get loose and was stuck by her back legs,belly area.

The poor thing was soo scared she was breathing really hard and fast so I just held her and sooey to her, to calm her down.
The one thing I noticed was the her whole head had lost all of its color, it was almost white, with some of the spike also. The color has pretty much come back.

Is this cause for alarm? I have not seen this before.
She was also very restless, like she cant get comfortable. She keeps moving around her shelf and lifting her tail up . Could this cause her to start laying her eggs? While I have been typing this she has settled down alot.

I hope to get her to her vet tomorrow, but for tonight, I work 11pm to 7am.
I dont know if I should take her with me or if she'd be better here in her own bed.

Any suggestions would be greatful !!
Here is a pic of where she got stuck (after I got her out)

I think the turning whitish on the head is due to stress. My female did that when she went to the vet in November and got her stitches out. She was not happy to say the least. And she did it again a couple weeks ago, when she was stressing over the egg laying. I don't think it's anything to worry about. I'm sure it was just from her ordeal with the headboard. I know I'd be freakin' out if I got stuck in there, lol. And she could be looking for a place to lay, is she gravid, do you know?
