Tips & Strategies
Easy way to tame (Works if you have Argentavis or Quetzal):
Step 1: Go to the swamp with your Argentavis or Quetzal and search the area for Dimetrodon. Once one is found, pick it up and carry it somewhere safe (recommended: The Dead Volcano, or your base. Just make sure everyone is set to passive).
Step 2: Let it wander around for a while. Knock it out every so often to check on its hunger. If it is not hungry upon knockout, let it wake up and heal for a while. Repeat until it is completely starving.
Step 3: Once one of your checkups on the Dimetrodon via knockout reveals that it is completely starving, grab whatever meat you have as fast as you can (prime meat if its a high level). The starving status causes the Dimetrodon, as well as all other creatures tamed via knockout, to constantly eat every second until they are either tamed or not hungry anymore.
I did all of this myself at the Dead Volcano, which it arrived there via my male Quetzal, Flappy. Argentavis can also pick them up for delivery. Hopefully this helps.

Do you wanna tame this thing? Here a tip! Bring LOTS and I mean LOTS of narcotics preferably bio toxin, this thing at like 1000 of my bio toxin and so I left it for 10 seconds and it woke up and took like 2 stacks of meat and so always remember your gazillion bio toxin
Amount of narcs used is not correct, a lot more was required.
Just a few tips: 1: Make sure to when taming bring lots of narcotics. They have high torpor but drain super fast. 2: If you can definitely use some sort of flyer or cryopod that can carry this because it is super slow. 3: Works as an air conditioner and gets better temperatures by upgrading melee.
