Bring extra tasty cakes because it's un accurate probably due to the fact that after it eats a tasty cake there is a cool down on using another and it says put food in inventory to tame making its taming slightly drop
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.

How ARK players tame and knock out the Achatina: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
Ok so go kill a few mantis get atleast 4 electric prods I'm doing a 180 right now and it took 3 prods very fast way to ko and starts with 100% effectiveness best way I've found to ko better the 100+ arrows and 20+ darts and very easy to get
Collect it paste when it gets to 100
1 dart with a good longneck in the areas without the shell should tranq them
Find one in swamp thats already knocked out. Stuff full of tasty cake and wait. Pick up and run away.
They only make a 100 at a time takes about 4 hours
Be aware that after tameing they still only eat cakes
Find food for your new friend
The sweet vegetable Cake has a cool down
Tame a gacha,it will pick up the cementing paste.but be aware!they might eat it

If your like me and can’t yet afford to make cake yet, get them anyway, you’ll have them there to tame when you need them, and they produce a little organic polymer (Achatina Paste) every now and then, which is great since by the time you have the ability to have a reliable…

I did this myself and it saved me a lot of time from having to look for them later.
Do not bother taming this creature.
Be warned, clear the area or mount them with flyer and bring to safe area, better to use tek bow 1 shot usually works, they only ever will eat sweet cake so be sure to already make a decent supply. Once’s tamed put in room with pair of gotchas and let them collect . Hope this…

They are tamed with sweet veggie cakes and if they get to hurt they crawl into their shell.
Achatina, wild or domesticated, do not and cannot fight back when attacked
You not need these snail when had a base in hidden lake cuz sometimes beaver dams keep a lot cementing paste on it.

If your base is far away from the swamp, use a Argentavis to carry it in his mouth. On this way you still carry it when you land and transport wild ones to your base for taming
