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.

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.

To collect eggs, build a 2 room pen (Dino gates work great as walls and dividers). Agro a bunch of TBs and lead them to one side of the pen then trap them in. Lead them back and forth between the sides as they drop eggs.

Pro tip if you are in the swamp water at night time you are going to die because you can’t take out your torch so snakes will be right in front of you and you won’t know until they start attacking. Then you get knocked out and you slowly drown and get eaten. You know what just don’t go in the water
