Is there a difference?

I've noticed with my baby veiled Kirby, two different colour changes when he's not happy.

At times he'll gradually go grey all over and eventually black. Other times he'll develop very black spots all over but still with the bright green showing through.

I was just wondering if one indicated stress and the other angry perhaps. Or is it just the same state but different ways of showing it.

Unless he's basking black mean very stressed and not a good sign. They will often show the spots when first starting to become stressed.

Thanks Jann. The time he went straight to black without showing spots first when was I had him out to clean. The spots are usually when I open his door to put the crickets in and sometimes even if I just look in at him. Other times he doesn't appeared bothered at all.
