If you kill it and look in its inventory, its got a lot of good stuff like bows, armor, and arrows or cooking recipes. I use bows and pikes to kill them, and pack stimberries. Im playing on easy-casual on ark mobile so might not be the same for other versions.

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?

I have encountered at least THREE OF THESE THINGS each time killing me when i try to get my stuff back lesson learned bring a bow when your trying to get your stuff back.

They dont just spawn in caves, I have seen them in swamps on multiple occasions

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.

There are too dangerous to kill with a melee weapon.. so make sure u have any reange weapons

Shoot at from a distance if possible... have stimulants or something to wake you up on hand, they will knock you clean out in a couple bites!!

Hate the sound they make when they are creeping up on you 😨

To the guy who said that the ark species are made up they really aren’t there almost all real Dino’s that have lived

They can climb up rocks well.

A pike usually has good enough knockback to keep these things at bay, but if you're in the swamp make sure to put a few stimberries or stimulants in your both at.

Use ranged weapons against titanoboas and watch your surroundings as the can team up and knock you out.

There is no escape from these snakes. They spawn on every map and kill things on sight.

These guys are super scary. no matter how powerful you are, always watch out for these guys if you're in or around a swamp. swamps are FILLED with these guys, and when they bite you, they fill your torpor bar up and knock out both you and your mount. DO NOT get knocked out, especially when in a dangerous area like a swamp. if you get bitten, eat a bunch of stimberries and feed them to your mount too. my pteranodon and tapejara and me can take out almost anything we come across (so far), and i'm still terrified of these guys. stay away from titanoboas and other poisonous creatures, even if they're not powerful they'll get you killed. keep at least 50, preferably 100-200 stimberries on you when traveling through, over or near swamps.

If it is a boa, then it should kill with constriction, now venom, boas kill with constriction, vipers kill with venom.

You can’t go on a trip to the swamp or the caves without seeing a titanoboa

The first time I made a Long Neck Rifle I found one and shot it. One bullet and one less level twelve living tranquilizer.

So it eats any fish meat... then why does it like to eat me?

A pretty obvious tip is have stim berries in you hot bar withat water filled water skin as soon as you get hit by one use the stim berries and water skin to cancel it out

Can see you 200 meters away
Looks creepy as it comes near
One bite and you fall unconscious
Can climb over a one hight wall
Camouflage keeps them hidden
Can not fall Unconscious itself
Overall deadly.
