==Description==
The markings and coloration of these skinks can vary significantly between individuals. In general, ''M. boulengeri'' are grey or brown in colour with coloured flecks in a longitudinal pattern along the dorsal side of the lizard, while the ventral side is largely white. A thin white stripe also runs longitudinally from the mouth to the groin region on both lateral sides. Above the white line, is a thicker black stripe that borders the white stripes.〔Cogger H. 2014. ''Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia.'' Collingwood: CSIRO Publishing. Seventh Edition. p:660-661.〕 Juvenile lizards also have a distinctive red-orange tinge on the ventral side of the tail, which is a distinguishing feature of the ''Morethia'' genera. The ''Boulengeri’s skink'' can grow to 10 cm in length however, on average the only reach a measurement of 8 cm, nose to tail or 45-50mm snout-vent length.〔Rayner, I. 2007. Morethia Boulengeri.
