GSP growing spots on his underside?

Hi guys. My gf has a GSP that is about 1" long. Recently, its spots have been growing down towards the lower part of its body. So the spots are now on its sides, where it is white. There is only a strip of white un-spotted area on its belly now. Is this common? Thank you!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture on hand. But they just look like the black spots have grown on to areas of its body where it is not green. They do not look like discolorations or anything, they just look like the spots that are on its back have started growing down to its belly. So it looks like his whole body is spotted, instead of just its back where its green. Are there any diseases that have these symptoms or could it just be a genetic variation?

No not really. I'm pretty sure its a GSP. It has definitive lines where the green separates from the white belly. Except the spots are all around the body, not just on its back.
