Tips & Strategies
In order to gather eggs you meed to build this building in the swamp, anywhere else will not work. Best way to get them is get a behemoth gate and make two rooms on either side using stone fence foundations and doorways, but do not place the actual door in the door way this tricks the game into thinking they are in an open space (if they are in a closed area they will not lay eggs). These doorways need to be three tall or the can clime over and escape. Once you get your cage, be aware when you drop them in they can still stick there heads through and bite you. Now that you have your snakes in your pit, leave out of render distance for about two minutes then come back, once you come back, there is a chance an egg was laid. Open the behemoth gate and lead the snakes to the other side then lock them in there by closing the gate. You can now safely retrieve your egg.

If you're in an area that has a lot of these, put stimberries in your hotbar so if you get bit, spam those so you don't knock out, if you knockout, you're dead.
Snakes... why did it have to be snakes....
β¬οΈ If you have seen Indiana Jones
The dossier says:
"Found only in the dark caves of the island"
They are already wrong! It should say something more like:
"Found everywhere but the dark caves of the island, this creature will gladly ruin your day by jumping out and killing you as soon as you even think about going to the swamp. Nearly impossible to tame because it has to be tamed via passive which is very difficult to do. Worst of all you need to feed them fertilized eggs. Why can't it e a little easier?
Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you hear something hissing
You're probably screwed
Use ranged weapons against titanoboas and watch your surroundings as the can team up and knock you out.
For new players: do not get hit by this at all or you will get knocked out. It will continue to bite you until you die. Please like this is my first post.
In real life, Titanoboa was fifty feet long and lived in the jungles of Colombia 60 million years ago. It was a massive, definitely rideable monster that could squeeze the living crap out of you.
Ark made it a smol poisoner instead of a giant constrictor. itβs called TITANoboa. Itβs supposed to be big.
Other fact: The irl Titanoboa lived alongside and possibly preyed on the irl carbonemys
A hiss is all you'll hear
As an indicator I'm here
One bite from my snout
Then it's lights out
And your tamed friends might disappear.
Be sure to bring stim berries! And a gun. And a machete. And a flamethrower. Would you believe me if I said I actually like snakes? ~CL1
I found a cool Paracera. Then I went to walk past a tree, and then what I see is a pair of frills attached to an angry snake head! I ran up a hill, but I saw a raptor somewhere up there before. I hope I make it down aliveβ¦
If you see one of these don't just run. Turn around walk backwards while using a pike to poke it in the eyes. Keep your distance well and you'll kill it without even taking a hit.
