THEY CAN SWIM!!!! Don't run into water THEY WILL CHASE YOU!!!

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....

⬆️ 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.

So here's a very good tip for newbies in ARK swamps.

If hunting, target the Boa first. Make sure you kill them!

Here's why. About the Boas, they have a good poison. They might knock out someone with just 2-3 bites. Not so deadly, but when you're asleep, other predators might kill you. You don't wake up quickly. Bring a good pet and some stimulant. You might need a ranged weapon too.

Boa= Titanoboa

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. it’s called TITANoboa. It’s supposed to be big.

Other fact: The irl Titanoboa lived alongside and possibly preyed on the irl carbonemys
