metal pick. I have actually recieved up to 9 keratin from 1 turtle. Also I have recieved zero. The only sure way to get a good amount or any at all is the Sabertooth. Also farming scorpions.

funny, I get those numbers with a metal hatchet.... but yes, sabretooth > all for keratin/chitin

Metal pick or hatchet... I think hatched is superior, but actually even with sabretooth keratin loot is awful low. Chitin with sabretooth is pretty good loot and your best shot. But even with metal hatchet loot is fine on them, going into a cave with lots of scorps and spiders is also "lootful".

sabertooth better than metal pick or hatchet

Yeah, as they say, get a sabertooth and level it's melee damage.

well i dont see keratin/chitin in the tooltips, and for as i have seen it seems to be a random item just like asking what berry grows on what bush... some animals have them some dont. Ive never seen a cave so far. offcourse ive never came out of south beach so far :p

Metal hatchet is the best.
What affects how much you get I don't know, but I get less using a Sabretooth than the hatchet.
Chitin is the easiest to get at this time with the scorpions dropping a fair amount.
Keratin is harder to get as you get it more rarely from Trikes, Carnos, Sabretooths and Mammoths. Probabaly forgot a couple...

how much damage does the saber do? the more damage the more loot it seems, mine is at around 450 melee damage, and the highest number i've got on a turtle is 19 so far

How much you collect from a node depends on the damage you do to it, this means if you over kill the node by say 4x its hps you get 4 times the resouces from it.
Basically if you got huge melee damage boost and sabre got bad melee damage then you will gather stuff better.
