The Titanoboa (Ty-tan-o-bo-ah) is a large, carnivorous reptile, able to deliver a high amount of Torpor to its enemies with each bite. It the source of
Titanoboa Venom, a tribute used to summon different non-gamma difficulty boss fights.
It was first added in ARK: Survival Evolved on its early release.
This section is intended to be an exact copy of what the survivor Helena Walker, the author of the dossiers, has written. There may be some discrepancies between this text and the in-game creature.
Titanoboa exornantur
TimePaleocene
DietCarnivore
TemperamentAggressive
Typically found within the Island's caves, Titanoboa exornantur is an aggressive creature that prefers dark, rocky areas. This extremely large snake, while being a member of the Titanoboa family, does not constrict its prey as most boas do. I believe this adaptation comes from coexisting with giant insects. However, the Titanoboa's venomous bite is so potent that it is known to paralyze far larger creatures. Titanoboa has developed a strange coexistence with other creatures of the Island's caves. Being immune to knockout poisons, and being unable to pierce the thick chitin of the insects, the species have learned to coexist. They often hunt large prey together.
As they appear immune to knockout poisons, Titanoboa exornantur is basically impossible to render unconscious. Because this crucial step can't be done, I'm convinced that Titanoboa are not tameable.
Very aggressive, belligerent and relentless, the Titanoboa will pursue and attack most creatures (except other predators), which includes players who dare to approach one. Caves offer a safe location for Titanoboas to mingle with other creatures. They are also found in swamps, where they will attack whatever they can sink their fangs into. Although not amphibious like the Beelzebufo, they are adept at swimming. The attack of a Titanoboa increases
Torpor, which can neutralize incoming players who are unable to fight this crippling game mechanic.
The Titanoboa is a constrictor snake of immense size, dwarfing even the largest anacondas. Thick and bulky, they are found in sizeable numbers in the island's swamps, ambushing prey from the shallows and crushing it between its coils; they are also found in large caves, where their apparent immunity to invertebrate toxins protects them from the caves' other denizens. Their bulk precludes them from the attention of most predators, but if threatened the giant snake will flare a frill about its neck and strike out, biting with several rows of recurved, needle-like teeth.
This section displays the Titanoboa's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Titanoboa. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Titanoboa will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.
This information can be used to alter the Titanoboa's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID>
in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6
would color the Titanoboa's "body" magenta.
Titanoboa Venom has a chance of 30% to drop.

Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you can try to recover the breeding stats with an external tool.[1]
The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps
Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.

Egg Production Increased
The Titanoboa has an increased egg laying cap in comparison with the rest of the creatures, commonly the creatures lays a maximum of 6 eggs at the same time, but the Titanoboa has this limit on 8 eggs at the same time.
Also the Titanoboa has no gender, which allows any Titanoboa to lay eggs.
To tame the Titanoboa you have to drop a fertile egg near it, while it is not distracted in any way (it doesn't work if the Titanoboa is aggroed to attacking something, including your character). The Titanoboa will "attack" the egg and eat it, gaining taming progress. The ancestry (e.g. the levels of the parents) of each fertilized egg will not affect the taming speed.
The best way is to drop the egg from above while riding a flying mount. But drop the egg from your own inventory, for when you drop the egg from the mount's inventory, the Titanoboa will ignore it.
All eggs have to be fertilized, non-fertilized eggs will not work. The eggs in the following tables are representing all egg-types of their group. The other eggs belonging to the same group are listed below the tables. All eggs in a group have the same taming-effects. Once the Titanoboa is tamed, it will only eat eggs as a source of food(similar to the Achatina with vegetable cakes), the eggs do not need to be fertilized.

This section describes how to fight against the Titanoboa.
The Titanoboa, although it deals a low amount of damage, is deadly because of its immobilizing venom. Just a single bite increases your Torpor at an alarming rate. Their awkward bodies allow them to climb impossible slopes or stick to ceilings and drop on unsuspecting survivors, so stay wary and keep your weapons equipped. They have no genders, meaning they can't receive bonus stats from being partners.
The best strategy is distance, stay back and take them down. If you're forced to be within striking distance, it's best to carry some Stimulant or
Stimberries with you as a combatant against its venom. It should be said that many creatures in the cave can carry
Stimberries on them, while this is not ideal it can prove life-saving. Furthermore, shields can prevent further
Torpor increase whilst utilising
Stimberries.
Titanoboas are slow and awkward, so you're better off keeping your distance and peppering them from afar. Their large bodies ensure that Shotguns are devastating in the caves or in the swamp and most mounts can ignore the
Torpor and trounce the Titanoboa soundly. If not too encumbered, simply walking backwards and shoving a
Spear or
Pike in their face can usually do the trick. Since their head shot modifier is 3x it advise to bring a
Bow or
Crossbow for defense. As with most creatures, the hit box is larger than the collision box, so even if it does not make the "smacking sound", the attack still can hit. This tactic also works great for
Sarcos.
Their venom is extremely potent and they're capable of hiding in odd locations. Watch your corners and be ready to run or cover your allies if they are downed but not dead. It is also important to check your surroundings for more dangerous creatures such as sarcos - if you happen to get knocked out, you will be defenseless against any nearby predators.
Their large bodies are also a hindrance as they have difficulty fitting through some small gaps. Most tames, even Dimorphodon are quite capable of ignoring the torpor effect and shredding the relatively fragile Titanoboa. They lose melee soundly to an even moderately equipped survivor, providing they beat a hasty retreat before the venom proves their end.
For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Titanoboa, see the relevant Wikipedia article.
