Araneo Egg

An egg that comes from breeding

The Araneo Egg appears in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. According to the ARK Wiki, an Araneo Egg is produced when two Araneos mate, and it hatches into a baby Araneo. Its in-game description: "Eat it to gain tremendous nourishment, or use it in recipies, or..."

Hatching an Araneo

The wiki gives a hatch time of 1h 25m 42.446s. The egg needs between 4 and 12 °C (39 to 54 °F); outside that range it starts losing health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can shorten the wait by up to 20%. A female Araneo has to wait somewhere from 18h to 2d before she can lay again.

Weight and spoiling

An egg weighs 9 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 900. It spoils after 192 hours (8 days).

How the egg has changed over time

• Before ARK: Homestead, it could be crafted into Kibble (Araneo Egg).
• Before patch 316.18, Araneos laid the original eggs, both tamed ones and those in caves, and the eggs could at one stage be picked up.
• Before TLC 3, it looked like a hard-shelled egg similar to other dino eggs and could be collected.
• In ASE the egg shares its icon with the Bloodstalker Egg, while in ASA the icon shows the egg's actual in-game colours.
