Spino Egg & Breeding Calculator

The Spino reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 30°C and 32°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~2 days and 23 hours (1x rate), progressing slowly. 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.

The dino is inside an egg, needing specific conditions to incubate and hatch. The ideal temperature range is 30 - 32 °C.

The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

Juvenile

10% - 50%

28:29:24

The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.

Adolescent

50% - 100%

35:36:45

The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

The Spino's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~427 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~28h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~36h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Spino gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Spino babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~427 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Spino babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

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.

The Spino, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the DMG classification.

At 805 base HP, the Spino is solidly tanky. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Spino has decent hitting power. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it solid stamina reserves. It carries 350 base Weight - good carrying capacity.

You'll need to knock the Spino unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Exceptional Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Spino is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 30°C and 32°C. Killing a wild Spino yields 60 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
