Carbonemys Egg

Laid by the Carbonemys

The Carbonemys Egg, listed on the ARK Wiki as the Turtle Egg, comes from the Carbonemys in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Wild Carbonemys drop it at random, and when two of them mate the resulting fertilized egg hatches into a baby Carbonemys. A survivor can simply eat it, but its main value is as a kibble ingredient. Our records list it on 14 maps.

Kibble and taming

The egg is used to make Regular Kibble, a taming food for a long list of creatures. The ARK Wiki's list includes the Ankylosaurus, Carnotaurus, Diplodocus, Pteranodon, Sabertooth and Stegosaurus, the Carbonemys itself, and any creature whose diet includes Basic Kibble or Simple Kibble.

Hatching a fertilized egg

Incubation takes 1h 14m 59.64s, and the egg must stay between 30 and 34 °C (86 to 93 °F); outside that window it starts losing health. Placing it in an Egg Incubator set to the ideal temperature shortens the time by up to 20%. A female needs 18h to 2d before she can lay again. Collect eggs with care: picking one up near wild Carbonemys turns them hostile.

Weight and spoilage in each game

The two games handle the egg differently on our records. In ASA it weighs 0.1, so a stack of 100 weighs 10, and it spoils after 72 hours (3 days). The ASE record gives a weight of 3 and a much longer spoil timer of 691200 seconds, the same value the ARK Wiki shows.
