[Q] Basilisk tame bugged?

[Shooter339]

So I've tried taming a Basilisk yesterday and after many hours I gave up.
The Basilisk didnt eat a single fertilized Rock Drake egg.
I've tried multiple taming methodes. Kaiting it over the egg with a none large dino and loosing aggro, Lightpet and metalfoundation, Rockdrake up the wall and so on.
Not a single egg has been eaten.

Is it bugged right now or am I missing something?

cheers.

I think you are just doing something wrong, but I have noticed that sometimes Basilisk just won't eat or it eats only once then stops completely eating the eggs.

I believe it is perhaps intentional? so that not all basilisks are tameable basically, makes it a little harder to get them? don't know.

The egg eating has always been a bit akward imo, espcially when not trapped, sometimes it works flawless and sometimes you run around for 30min waiting for it to eat an egg.

I tend to just make a trap with gates (b-gate with doors, or regular dino gates without doors should do) around it, potentially wasting some extra resources if you don't have mods like S+, and that seems to work a bit better for me sometimes.

I did tame one after Genesis, so unless a more recent patch broke it, it should still work ¿

Thanks you two, well guess I'll try to make a trap like you suggest and try this one out.

Wish me luck!

Also one thing to watch out for

Make sure you drop the eggs from your own inventory,

but since the Basilisk is a passive tame, there would be a delay between egg's it can be fed until these titanic snakes eventually become more docile around you (but I do wish that their turning radius was better as it feel's like your turning a train while the rail's are covered in oil & butter)

It not so much becoming more docile, its more of waiting game for the next feeding interval, much like pushing things up other creatures rear end to passive tame them :P

Witch also makes me want to point out, that dino food settings can mess with this process just like with regular tames and other passive tames.

Can the Basilisks in the volcanic region of Genesis be tamed normally? I see that there are TONS of them on that part of Genesis, but there are no Rock Drakes on Genesis to lay fertilized eggs to feed the basilisks there. Will they eat any other kind of egg? like the egg of the new molten dino that lays fertilized eggs?

(I love basilisks as tames, despite their turning radius issue. And i don't like bringing dinos to maps that don't actually spawn there.)

I say "more docile" as in making these huge danger noodles not so hostile toward's you (kinda like how when people who have a pet snake, once they bond with their slithery friend they will become more docile around their owner)
