While taming, after eating a cake, the bar will read "place food in inventory to tame" even though you have cakes there. Also, the torpor score goes up quickly from feeding narcs, different from other tames
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.
I repeat........They don't eat food inside the cave in mobile.
You can find achatina in and around the swamp, also in redwoods if you want to be jumped by a thylacoleo
NOT TRUE that you can use a grappling hook on snails on PVE servers. I tried.
If you can’t find many in the swamp the artifact of the immune cave spawns at least three
When taming an achatina try to get them in a safe place. Once that's done you should shoot it in the head with tranq darts/arrows as the shell does less torpor. Then feed it sweet vegetable cakes and BOOM your very own achatina!
Slow can club then make flyer pick up and take to base
Before taming, save up a lot of sap, giant bee honey and crops for making Sweet Vegetable Cakes.
They get organic polymer if you let them get full of cementing paste
If you can’t get veggie cakes, lock the snail in your base it will still produce the paste very slowly, but not polymer.
The eating delay only creates an issue when trying to starve tame. If you put the cakes in right away, it eats them slowly enough that the countdown will run out before it is hungry again, and you won't need extra.
Taming Math
Eats cake every 5 minutes well taming or else will starve to death.
Needs to Feed every 12 hours after tamed.
Just tame it. It takes 4 days to raise, you'll raise an 2 allos in that time.
Get a gacha with sap and feed it rocks to make the cake
Mine kept glitching while taming, took almost triple the cakes and double the time (kept saying put food in inventory to tame). I found a way to bypass this by putting a stack of berries and a stack of meat in it's inventory along with cakes while it's knocked out.…

They eat Sweet Vegetable Cakes and you need to tranq them down with darts preferably. Aim for the soft part of the Achatina and not the shell part. Shooting its shell will take more darts to take down.
Feeding a snail is not that bad. They usually eat 1 cake every day or 2. One tree with 4 taps will make 11 cakes.
If you want to tame one first pick it up from the ground with a bird and bring him away from swamp then crossbow how or dart him in the head wait 5 seconds then redo then ONLY feed veggie cake beware of comment who said a lie
They can be found on the land bridge connecting redwood to snow on the center
These guys are so hard to tame
