So in the past few weeks I have seen both species listed here and there and, honestly, I cant tell the difference between them when I see pictures of them.

So are they really seperate species of is deserti a subspecies of Lq?

It is a non existant, so invalid name. It is neither sp or ssp, it is the imagination of creative seller.

The taxonomical status of L. quinquestriatus hebraeus is that of a subspecies, at least according to what i could find in papers.

My deserti seems to have a much darker tail segment, is far more aggressive, and stays out in the open more than my standard LQ. But I would just consider them a local morph not a separate sp or ssp

My buddy told me this as well. I dont see much of a difference in the two anyway. LQ's can vary in color, I have some neat looking ones. My buddy has some light and dark ones. All the same specie.
