Breeding the Aberrant Carbonemys produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 30°C and 34°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 14 minutes.

The baby Aberrant Carbonemys takes approximately 23 hours and 8 minutes to fully mature at default rates - over the course of several hours. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Raising a baby Aberrant Carbonemys involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~139 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~9h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~12h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Aberrant Carbonemys's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Aberrant Carbonemys babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~139 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Aberrant Carbonemys raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Carbonemys as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it solid damage output. Starting at 672 Health, it's impressively tough. Its base Stamina of 200 gives it decent staying power. It carries 270 base Weight - good carrying capacity.

To tame the Aberrant Carbonemys, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Aberrant Carbonemys earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 30°C–34°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.64 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
