Hey,
Yes they can and often do. Their colors can and most often become more intense as with age. However, there are some that don't under go as intense a color change as some of the more actractively colored ones. Say, i.e. a Marter red blood.

Here's my blood at 2 yrs old and then gradually to 4 yrs old.WhenI first got my blood it was a normal orange/yellow looking animal and through time has gotten redder.The color didn't start till about 2 yrs old.It continues to this day to keep getting redder.I will take some pics today since it just shed.
