Titanboa Egg

Two spellings, one egg

In ARK: Survival Ascended this item is the Titanboa Egg, while ARK: Survival Evolved calls it the Titanoboa Egg. The ARK Wiki keeps the in-game spelling Titanboa and notes that Titanoboa is the correct form. Titanoboas drop these eggs at random, and the egg can be eaten or used to make kibble. The ASA item text reads: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides superior nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

Superior Kibble

The egg goes into Superior Kibble. The ARK Wiki lists a long set of tames for that kibble, among them the Argentavis, Megalodon, Direwolf, Mammoth, Tapejara, Castoroides, Snow Owl and Daeodon. Creatures that eat Regular Kibble, Simple Kibble or Basic Kibble take it as well. The wiki also states that the Titanoboa can't be bred.

Finding eggs in the swamp

Titanoboas can now be tamed, and the ARK Wiki says they are commonly found in the swamp, the only place where they lay eggs. The eggs are bright white and stand out against the swamp, although they are harder to see where they lie under water in the mangrove parts. Taking an egg while wild Titanoboas are near turns them hostile, and they go after the survivor.

Ways to collect them

• Grouping: pull as many Titanoboas as you can to one spot with a Beelzebufo. That gives a rough idea where eggs will turn up when you return. Do not let the frog take enough hits to be knocked out.
• Enclosure: build a wood or stone pen with a dino gate in the middle, fully inside the swamp, on land or in the water. Drop several snakes on one side with an Argentavis, wait for a few eggs, then have a rider on a flyer lure the snakes through the gate and close it, and repeat.
• Quick grab: once you see an egg, a fast or flying mount can get it out quickly before the snakes swarm. Watch out for other swamp creatures, and do not let the egg decompose or spoil.

Weight and spoiling

Each egg weighs 20 and 100 fit in one stack, for a full stack weight of 2000. The ARK Wiki gives a spoil time of 28800 seconds and a decompose time of 1800 seconds. Our records list the egg on 14 maps, from The Island and Scorched Earth to Lost Colony, Astraeos and Fjordur.
