My hands did become more flexible as I played more. I used to have trouble reaching the 5th fret with my pinky, now I can to fancy pull off and tapping tricks from the 6th fret using my pinky( major streaching).
My advice to you, make up some streatching excersises and practice them often, they'll help you bigtime.
