It is usually nocturnal, hunts small insects, and creates or utilizes existing vegetation for shelter.[1] The skink is around 45 mm from snout to vent, is covered in iridescent reddish brown (fine) scales, and has several white marks behind and below the eye.
The southern weasel skink's distribution forms a coastal strip from south Victoria to southern Queensland.
