If you need to cross a river hitch a ride on one of these guys backs.

If you can’t get a fridge you can tame one of these and use it as a fridge.

I knocked this thing out with my slingshots and fists, fed it savoroot and narcoberries. Just for its kibbles...

When walking a carbonemys backwards towards a turret it takes less damage towards the carbonemys , making draining a turret more efficient.

If you are having trouble with Dino’s at the start and want to tame a Dino to help protect you but a trike is proving to be to hard just look for one of these turtles and then knock them out and if one is not enough get more. They can be like your living turtle wall to stop raptors and even spinos and rexes from just easily walking in and killing you before you can even run

When backing it up to drain turrets, set it to follow something that's in a safe place before you hop on. That way if you get sniped off the saddle your turtle will follow whatever animal to safety.

If you want the kraken on ocean you will need this guy, if you want a quick bronto you will need it's eggs if you want to raid a base with turrets you will need this guy.

The carbonemys is perhaps one of the best creatures to tame in the early game, and provides decent protection against dilos and lone raptors. The carbonemys can easily be knocked out with a slingshot, and even a survivor with base movement speed can outrun one, making it one of the easiest tames for the early game. Not only can it carry a lot, it can be used a bait for taming (or escaping) big carnivores that would love to eat you and you (amazing pink dodo) for a snack.
PROS
Amazing for early game
Bulky
Can carry lots of stuff
An easy source of meat, keratin, hide, and XP for early game players

CONS
Really slow on land
Gets stuck on stuff a lot
Makes annoying wailing noises all the time

When u tryna run away from something like a raptor or something, find a turtle and hop on its back. Then when the animal tries to hit u, it will just hit the carbonemys instead and u can easily run away while its distracted

Due to a recent update of turrets are set to players only the turtle loses its full potential as the turrets will target the person riding it rather than the turtle

Ride it backwards towards auto turrets to drain the ammunition.

This is the new Dodo kible tame, since the indroduction of the new kibble system, this is the best one for regular kibble. 8 females 1 male. 1 oviraptor

They changed the turtle it can no longer soak turrets this happened long before the date on this tip ):

If you are too lazy to tame but need an effective small creature defense hop on one's back in the wild and some small creatures will hurt it instead of you.

Great early tame to keep around waters you’ll have to cross often - just level health and melee and park it in the water (as they can’t drown) in neutral and they’ll draw in and kill any piranhas that spawn nearby. Presumably possible to do in the oceans with Megalodons as well since they’re drawn to tamed creatures.

Carbonemys have a lot of health, and becuase of this i use it as bait when i am trying to tame carnivores to lure them towards me. These turtles can also be used for berry farming although they are not amazing at it.

Great for harvesting biotoxin... Just a coupke can wipe out a group without getting knocked out and u just have to pick them apart when they are done

My turtle shelly level 45 helped me takeout a dino called allo or whatever it looked kinda like a trex but anyways i just started the game so i saw this turtle and searched up how to tame one i figured i should get a slingshot first when i got it i shot it and made it follow me till it got stuck in two trees so i knocked it down and a day later i found an another turtle fighting this dino that looks like a t rex i helped the turtle and made my turtle shelly fight with us so the other turtle died but me and shelly made it. Now i'm level 15 still a starter and this story it recent but what i mean that these creatures are in my opinion the best in the game

They’re basically the disciples of oogway, and are great for protection while taming. But literally they’re just mini oogways!

Carbonemys are walking refrigerators! Eggs will last a lot longer.. They can last up to 30 days.
