Bolas can be used against it
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.
10 cakes to tame a level 15
Doesn't take much to knock out, one or two darts for a 25
When I killed one it gave me angler gel
Expensive be wary that this guys eats ALOT of cakes
They definitely eat something other than veggie cakes after taming. I know this because mine haven't starved. Trough has berries, raw meat, and spoiled meat in it so I'm not sure which is being eaten. Definitely worth the effort if you have trouble getting cp.
The ptera seems like it can no longer pick them up.
This is the fastes dino on ark it will easly outrun a galimimus beware it is so fast its faster the the car in )into the futer(
If you have your tribemate come with you on a quetzl you can use the grapplehook to grab hold of it and take it to a safe place. ;)
Put it in the transfer dino thing then take it out and you will instantly get 100 paste. Repeat for unlimited paste. Might get patched.
Pick up wild one, drop in base. Do not tame!! Will slither around and drop paste every once in a while.. attack it and it will stay in its shell, just punch it a few times to move it off its paste. There easy enough
Found my first one yesterday AT the redwood beaches. Built a small Base around my saptap before, with a bin for having the cakes near but preserved.
If you are having trouble getting the sap, just get a wooden tree platform and the sap collectors (I forget the name of it) and wait for it to generate for you. The metal platform isnt worth the ingots you're using. Once you have the sap, just take up and get your CP and OP
Keep them close to water while taming them! Wild snails get damage over timme when not near a shore

I needed 23 cakes for a lvl 75 achatina, not 22
Don't cook near a wandering achatina, the mine die when i cook more cake...
Be careful taming these. The dodex is a hit and miss with them. You can have the exact ammount but it'll still screw the tame up
