Note, that this is in that size pot having grown UP from smaller ones. It will want a bigger pot in spring. I don't know that it's good to mess with your aloe pot right now, at all.
also note the baby shoots. I have had two kinds of Aloe: one always seemed to keep the softer spotted form (like the babies) though leaves got bigger and made a lot of side shoots. This one becomes this whorled look with really fat leaves. I don't know what if any cultural versus cultivar/species differences are going on.
