Poison Wyvern Egg & Breeding Calculator
The Poison Wyvern reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 80°C and 90°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~3 days and 20 hours (1x rate), progressing over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Poison Wyvern's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Poison Wyvern. Budget ~556 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Raising multiple Poison Wyvern simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Poison Wyvern is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Flyer group.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the Poison Wyvern has decent hitting power. With 1,295 base Health, the Poison Wyvern is among the tougher creatures. Stamina sits at 315 base, providing moderate endurance. It carries 400 base Weight - good carrying capacity.
After taming, the Poison Wyvern is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 80°C and 90°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 120 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.82 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
