G. hewitti may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 28–35 mm (1.1–1.4 in). The tail, if original, is slightly longer than the SVL, but shorter if regenerated. The dorsum of the body is light brown with darker brown markings, and the venter is pale cream. Males have four preanal pores.[4]
Reproductionedit
G. hewitti is oviparous.[2] The eggs, which measure 9 mm × 5.5 mm (0.35 in × 0.22 in), are laid under rock flakes. Clutch size is two.[4]
