Dimetrodon Egg

Where Dimetrodon Eggs come from

The Dimetrodon Egg is a food item laid by the Dimetrodon, found in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki says Dimetrodons drop these eggs at random, and our records also list the Aberrant Dimetrodon as a source. The in-game text reads: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides regular nutritional value in many cooking recipes." Take care near wild ones: picking up an egg while wild Dimetrodons are around turns them hostile toward the survivor who took it.

Eating it or making kibble

The egg can be eaten as it is or used for Regular Kibble. The wiki lists many creatures tamed with that kibble, among them the Pteranodon, Stegosaurus, Sabertooth, Carnotaurus, Beelzebufo and Velonasaur.

Laying eggs in water

According to the wiki, Dimetrodons lay eggs regularly only while swimming; on land it happens very rarely. To check whether the water is deep enough, the wiki suggests feeding one about 30 stimberries: if it poops, the depth is fine. A female then needs between 18h and 2d before she can lay again.

Hatching a baby

When two Dimetrodons mate, the resulting egg hatches into a baby Dimetrodon. Incubation lasts 2h 29m 59.28s. The egg needs between 30 and 34 °C (86 to 93 °F); outside that range it starts losing health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can cut the incubation time by up to 20%.

Weight, spoiling and maps

Each egg weighs 15 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 1500. An egg spoils after 192 hours (8 days). Our records list it on 8 maps, including The Island, Extinction, Ragnarok and Valguero.
