Once tamed, even on wandering it's hunger will go down slower than when you are almost full on weight. Takes around a week for it to need to be fed. So no need to rush with the sweet vegie cakes!
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.
So it seems it's taking longer, using more cakes and narc then what it says it's ment to.. also effectiveness is lower aswell
Achatina can be hard to tame and maintain but they are well worth it, so here’s a guide to tame one

Achatina can be hard to tame and maintain but they are well worth it, so here’s a guide to tame one
1. You MUST use tranq darts. Tranq arrows will do too much damage, and make it hide in its shell, and it will not knock out. You will also need to prepare veggie cakes before you tame it, because it is the only food that it eats to tame.
2. These are found in the swamp, and on the edge of the redwoods. I recommend using a flyer like an argy to pick it up and move it to a safe location. You can knock it out and tame it in the swamp but there are lots of hostile crocodilians and snakes that would like to eat you and your snail, so be prepared to deal with them you don’t need a trap because they are slow but if you want to use one to keep it safe you can
3. It will take at max 10ish tranqs to knock, so you don't need to make a ton. I HIGHLY recommend NOT starve taming it, because if you starve it too much, it will be really hungry when it is tamed, and you will need to feed it even more veggie cakes, because that is the only food they eat when wild or tamed.
Happy 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
It took only three shocking tranquilizers to knock out a level 300 on Crystal Isles.
You gonna need a farm for vegetable cake to tame them
Best way to ko is to agro a Titanoboa then take it to the Achatina it will then start attacking it and when the Achatina is unconscious shoot the snake with a ranged weapon and then you have a tameable Achatina.
Just letting ya now that this stupid snail will ask you to feed it veggie cakes while it has veggicakes in its inventory it broken and stupid
When knocked out they will lose health if there is no water near. Also they wont lose food.
Put one Cake in them and the health lose will stop after they ate it. If they dont eat it by them selfes, force feed the cake, so that they wont lose more health.
After the first…

After the first eaten cake they start to starve.
Always try your best
Always add 3 extra cakes to the total dodex says in my exp i have always needed more than that it claims
if you want a lot of cementing paste but don't have veggie cakes, call up your argeventis and swing by the swamp. use the argy to pick up a wild achatina and carry it home. drop it into an enclosure and boom! free paste, no taming required. just make sure nothing gets in…

This app says torpor drain is low, but its actually pretty high!!
It is a very strange snail because it thinks that there is no food but then eat the cake
The consumption timer on the veggie cake makes it think it doesn’t have food. I don’t recommend starve taming this thing especially since it starves way before it can be tamed.
This dino is best NOT to starve tame. The reason why is because of the veggie cake’s consumption timer. The 30 second timer causes the dino to think that there is no food inside it. This is why starve taming is actually a disadvantage when taming it.
My tape wont pick it up but app says it will.
Their torpor drain is actually very high!

You can find these snails on extinction ( cords for GPS are 58.2. 47.1 ) My YouTube is = uNoWill
