Buff your rexes with a yuty and optionally heal them with a pig. 100% imprint provides 30% more damage given and damage negation when the imprinted rider is riding.
I don’t recommend rexes for bosses that deal fire damage as carnivores take increased damage from it.
All of these estimations are assuming you are solo on official rates, the more people in the fight the lower the rex stats are required to be.
From my experience my rexes have layed a bunch of eggs I have 2 females and 2 males and I was able to get 120 eggs in the past 2 weeks however you may not have the same luck, however taming 3-4 females and a male should enough to supply you with plenty of red eggs to tame quetzals and plesiosaurs
If you want to tame a breeding pair don’t just tame every single Rex until you get a female because you just need to breed one male and a female and if the baby is female just wait for it to grow up and build an army every female you get as a baby will be able to breed just use feeding trhoungs and it will be easy to raise them(if you need any ancient amber go around looting drops and you get get a lot I got 38 ancient amber in an hour
Tame a high level male and a high level female and start breeding: it's a bit cruel but I suggest you to claim only the baby females and kill the males for xp, keeping the females will speed up the breeding process because the cooldown to mate is only on females and not males
