I play single player and I want to remove the all snake from the game. How do I go about doing that?

I am not sure if that is possible but I assume its because your afraid of snakes or something. You could look around at mods and see if there is any mods that do that but as for any other way I am not sure if its possible.

You can not completely remove its existence, however you can replace it with another Dino. I.e you want snakes gone so you replace it with spider. Spider will spawn instead of snakes. Which technically removes snakes but not their spawns. So if you are afraid of snakes and that's your reason for wanting them gone. Sure. If your reason is that you want easiers caves then no, it will still spawn the same amount no matter what Dino you change it with.
You can follow the instructions on this site on how to do it.

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "BoaFrill_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "Dodo_Character_BP_C") NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "BoaFrill_Character_BP_Aberrant_C", ToClassName = "Dodo_Character_BP_C") NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "Basilisk_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "Dodo_Character_BP_C") NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "MegaBasilisk_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "Dodo_Character_BP_C")

Find your Game.ini in your install folder, should be in ark\shootergame\saved\config\Windowsnoeditor and paste that entire thing in there. When you are in game open the console and type in 'destroywilddinos' without the '', this will repopulate your map and everything that is snakelike will be replaced with dodos

I'm not sure if you feel the same for oversized centipedes as well. I get the feeling that if you have a phobia of snakes, you might feel the same for centipedes since they have similar body structures. If so, include these too.
