If you want one of the snails then get your pternidon to pick it up and bring it to an inclosed space. Now you dont need veg cakes! I did this and its given my alot of past ever sense. Sorry qbout my spelling it sucks.
Achatina
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.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
After server reset they have roughly 100 poly in their inventory. :)
These snails are absolutely amazing in bulk at getting cp especially if you are on abb. Fill up a vault in no time!
In pve your able to pick up with an argie
I definitely recommend taking one of these if you want Ghilie you won't have to kill penguins. Just set your snail to wandering and it will make Cementing paste and organic polymer. But be warned even when they are tamed they will only eat cake
Can be carried in the mouth of an argy on PvE for easy taming.
They only eat veggie cake so make sure you have a good supply on hand before taming one
If you are on modded and have the domesticated bee hive + a tree tap or two you can produce more than enough cakes. Therefore tame as many snails as you can, then trade it throughout your server for other goodies such as fert. eggs and whatever else you may need.
Guys ark mobile is out (at least on ios) up vote so people know and tell the creators to make one for mobile
They will have to be on wandering so make a little pen
Generates organic polymer and “achatina paste” (cementing paste) eats sweet vegetable cakes.
Can be picked up like a dodo.
Don’t even take them,just pick them up and put them in a pen.

The Achatina is a passive tame, using the expensive resource of Sweet Vegetable Cake. Using a taming pen would be the most suitable strategy, due to the Achatina being found in the Swamps and Redwood Forest, some of the more dangerous areas of the ARK. Plus, the Achatina is a small enough creature for any ridable flying mount to grab it up, adding on to strategy of using a taming pen for this critter.
They suck at attacking only good for cementing paste and organic polymer though they are fast they get destroyed by Dilos and bigger preditors I have never seen them get attacked by gigas though
Just get a crossbow and aim for the head.Try to upgrade it to 14% and it should be easy to kill the achatina. Dont use melee it's harder to kill it then.
You don't have to tame them they make the goo even if not tamed just put them in a pen and watch them go
Honestly you dont need to tame one of these at all. They are a very important Dino but if your just starting out and have no farm just make a little stone cage and find a few in the jungle, pick them up with a ptera or argent and place in cage. They can stay wild and still drop…

They can stay wild and still drop a ton of CP no need to waste sap or crops!
Way more narco then what it says in here atleast take 100 for a lvl 50
Can also produce organic cementing paste, but takes a longer time
Being koo
