When timing keep an eye on it.
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.
Fast, Effective and Easy Taming Method (Starve Taming)-
1. Place a sleeping bag near your desired dimetrodon
2.Wait till night to sleep in it, clear out the area in the meanwhile (keep the prime meat you get, you’ll need it for later! Try storing it in a tame)
3. Once it’s morning, tranq out the dimetrodon and feed prime meat, no need for kibble this way because the dimetrodon will be so hungry it’ll tame in seconds!
Hope this helped! Spares you time and resources on getting a quetzal egg and making the kibble.
Ik people have said this but you can’t pick up dimetrodon on mobile unlike what Dododex says it is really annoying
These guys are hard to find because they sink into the mesh underwater. I recommend flying over the swamp with an argy looking for any signs of movement or sails. Sometimes they’ll be on the shores of the swamp, too, so check there.
Once you find one, pick it up (if you’re on an argy) and take it to a safer place. Otherwise, just kill any dangers in the area and chase it around with your tranq method of choice. Use their huge turning radius to avoid their bites.
Once tamed, level melee to increase their insulation. Good luck!
It's wrong AGAIN! Argentavis can't pick up these guys on mobile!!!!
I was hoping to tame a gallimimus but then i needed dimetrodon kibble i check on dododex for taming and i find out i need quetzal kibble, a ton of quetzal kibble.
To tame this with one cooked fish meat your taming speed has to be at *drumroll* 116! Not bad

Don’t do a lot of damage but have fast attack watch out
Encountering this this it looks like a baby spino and Croc combined but I find some good level (Level 10-25-almost level 30)(on the island) in the redwoods.
Look in the deep pools in the swamp biom on the center I make a 2-3 loops killing everything in the pools and I usually find 140 up f not sooner
So the reason why you cannot pick up wild is because on PvE you can’t pick up aggressive creatures . If it’s tamed you should be able to pick up, make sure your Argie is close to ground to pick up when tamed.
An argy cannot carry these in mobile
