Idk why butvsometimes they drop angler gel and the creatures that got angler gel more consistently are my dire wolves
TIPP: Achatinas can produce organic Polymer. You can just craft a fridge with the organic Polymer and destroy it. Every time you destroy a fridge you get normal Polymer back. That means you can transform organic Polymer to normal Polymer. I found it out yesterday by myself.
(It also works with organic Oil)
How to tame these things(mobile version):
1. You will need tree sap taps for sap(atleast 100 sap is required)
2. Place the beehive on redwood trees and put rare flower in it (it will take a lot of time to make honey).
3. After you get around 10-12 honey make some sweet vegetable cakes in a cooking pot.
4. Then after you make the veggie cakes, knock out an achatina using tranq arrows(don't use compund bow his health is low so it will die) and then put the cakes in its inventory.
There is a glitch that after eating one cake it will stop eating but dont worry it will eat after some time.
BOOM! You have tamed an achatina, they produce organic polymer and cementing paste when kept in wandering unlimited hard polymer supply.
If you just got them and they are on wander, keep them away from each other or a bunch of babies will be born.
I like to make note that this is a knock out tame
They need to be wandering to get cementing paste passively.
if you want a lot of cementing paste but don't have veggie cakes, call up your argeventis and swing by the swamp. use the argy to pick up a wild achatina and carry it home. drop it into an enclosure and boom! free paste, no taming required. just make sure nothing gets in and kills it
Be aware that after tameing they still only eat cakes

MAPS
The Achatina is a massive snail, mostly used for its production of Cementing Paste, or as a pet. This creature produces its paste passively — and quite frequently — so many survivors keep them around their bases. However, its usefulness pretty much ends there, as it cannot attack and moves quite slow. The Achatina must be tamed violently.
What does a Achatina eat? In ARK: Survival Evolved, the Achatina eats Sweet Vegetable Cake.
