its a normal morph right? deserti spp has lighter in color if im not mistaken.

Well in LQ's what's "normal"? I usually see about medium coloring, I've had deserti as well which is lighter but these look darker than both. I currently have the "normal" medium color and that's alot darker than what I have. In my opinion LQ's are one of the more highly variable color/pattern species available, some look cute, some look bold like this one, and some just look mean as hell.

I'd like to take a darker one like this and breed it with one of mine to see the outcome.
This is the color i've seen the most so I think this is my version of normal, what do you think? Or maybe mine are deserti, though they look a little darker in person, this has a flash on it.

this is my LQ with flash. its really hard for me to say if its a normal or a deserti spp. maybe its my editing/enhancing the photos does the trick .that's why the color is darker. the pattern on the carapace is really dark but the body itself is pale yellow. i can say that yours are much darker in color now. honestly i can't differentiate the two. haha

Looks like a normal morph to me. I think deserti are lighter, and yours certainly don't look like L. q. hebraeus.

sometimes camera flash and photo editing affects the true color of the pictures so determining the morph is hard especially LQs.

either way nice pics and specimens.
