They are brownish in color and rather humpbacked in appearance, always wingless, and up to 5 cm (2.0 in) long in body and 10 cm (3.9 in) for the legs.

The common garden skink feeds on invertebrates, including crickets, moths, slaters, earthworms, flies, grubs and caterpillars, grasshoppers, cockroaches, earwigs, slugs, dandelions, small spiders, ladybeetles and many other small insects, which makes it a very helpful animal around the garden.
They eat lizards, frogs, small snakes, large arthropods and small mammals. They overwinter in logs, stumps and mammal burrows. In late summer, they bear three to nine young.
