Taming
For general info about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.
KO Strategy
Since damage is significantly reduced by the shell, it is best to hit it on the soft, fleshy parts instead. If it takes enough damage, it will retreat into its shell, making it very easy to kill it before the torpor from tranquillizers can knock it out. Be mindful of how bloody the Achatina gets, and use Shocking Tranquilizer Darts or normal Tranquilizer Darts to minimize this risk.
Can be tamed using vegetable cake

They can wear hats!!!
I like to make note that this is a knock out tame
And their not breedable! Why. I want baby achatina!!!!
If you are considering breeding these, go slam your hand in a car door a few times. It will be much less painful. Literally one veggie cake per percent of growth....and it grows slow.. Digests roughly one point of food per second, so feed a cake about one for every 7 mins (during event boost) and it will gain one percent of growth.
Has a high torpor drain ASA. Up for all to see.
Pick it out of the swamp with pterodactyl and plop it around your base
Do not starve tame. There is a cool down on the veggie cakes that don't allow it to eat them as quickly as needed.
If you are playing Official PvE, you can grapple them with a grappling hook and then fly or walk them back somewhere safer for them to be knocked out, such as your base for example.
