Where Palaeoctopus Eggs come from
The Palaeoctopus Egg is an egg from ARK: Survival Ascended. Palaeoctopodes drop it at random, and an egg that comes from two mated Palaeoctopodes can hatch into a baby 
Palaeoctopus. It also works as food, as its description says: "Eat it to gain tremendous nourishment."
Collecting eggs safely
Taking an egg while wild Palaeoctopodes are around turns them hostile, and a wild mother whose egg is stolen will keep chasing the thief. A tamed female avoids that trouble: her eggs can be picked up without her becoming aggressive. According to the ARK Wiki, she lays more often when a male Palaeoctopus is close for the Mate Boost and an 
Oviraptor is nearby. 
Eggs can also be collected from tamed Palaeoctopodes in general.
Incubation
The egg must stay within its temperature range to hatch; outside it, the egg starts to lose health. An 
Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can shorten incubation by up to 20%.
Weight and spoiling
Our records give the egg a weight of 12, and the ARK Wiki lists a stack size of 100. An egg spoils after 192 hours, which is 8 days.
