Breeding produces live offspring - no egg management needed.Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.

After hatching or birth, the baby Achatina matures over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours at 1x maturation.The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The Achatina's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Achatina gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted.Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Planning a mass raise?The Achatina raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste.The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Achatina simultaneously?Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically.Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Achatina is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Starting at 75 Health, it's very frail.Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Achatina brings solid damage output to the table.With 100 base Stamina, the Achatina has low stamina reserves.A base Weight of 600 means an enormous weight pool.

You'll need to knock the Achatina unconscious before taming it.Tranquilizers are the standard approach.Feed it Sweet Vegetable Cake for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Achatina has the carrying capacity to serve as a reliable transport mount for heavy loads.Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process.A wild Achatina is worth 2 base experience when killed.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.69 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
