Question Can a leopard really change its spots?

Hi everyone

I have a leopard gecko shes over one year old. I was looking at pics yesterday when we first got her (she was around 6 months) and the spots on her back are no where near as dark. Is this because as shes growing its stretching the skin or can they change with age?

Mine had three distinct bands of spots when I first got her. These are nowhere near as banded now.
