The specific epithet boschmai honours Dutch zoologist Hilbrand Boschma.

[3][4] The colouration of C. boschmai is tan to dark brown on the upper body, with a pale belly.

It grows to a total length (including tail) of about 45 centimetres (18 in).

[3] C. boschmai is terrestrial and nocturnal, sheltering during the day under bark, logs, and leaf litter.

[3] The distribution of C. boschmai in Australia extends from the northern part of the Cape York Peninsula, covering eastern Queensland as far south as the border with New South Wales, where it inhabits dry forests, woodlands,[3] shrubland, and grasslands.
