I've gotten BROWN PAINT off of a young, but I've only hunted 2-3 rippers so far so I've got no clue about frequency or other maturities... yet.

They drop brown paint very often. They also drop Steel Blue, Dark Steel Blue, Turquoise and on a very infrequent basis Violet Cream. The extractors include Diluted Cloth, Superior Cloth, Enhanced Cloth, Advanced Stone, once in a great while Basic Gem and only once in the past 10 days basic plastic. They drop wool, thin wool, fine wool, animal hide, soft hide, fine hide, and basic strategic combat processors. They drop armor, but I never pay much attention to them. I think it's knight gloves. I'll try to make note next time.
When I get on a rippersnapper kick, I hunt a lot of them. 200-300 ped of ammo a day through the opalo (of all things). First person manually aming is my favorite way. I like the shallower waterways because the fish don't get above or below you as much. I usually will swim with my underside against the ground. If I had to have a fish above or below me, I'd rather have it above. They can be a pain when they get under you.
I did see a bravo from them about three months ago the last time I had a rippersnapper craze, so as far as I can tell they still drop. However they certainly don't seem to drop like they used to. I don't remember if it was the spring of 2007 or 2008, but I was pulling one or two bravos out of the water every week. I miss that. lol
One of the things I like about the rippersnappers is that they don't take much ammo to kill and can make some rather nice ammo drops. That means that if you're short on ped but wish for longer hunts, this is a good mob to have the opportunity to do that.
Best fish I ever looted was a 500 ped Old.

I have also been to a bunch of places where they used to be at, without any luck. This is starting to look like a fish story......

I can confirm RipperSnappers south of Zychion Citadel.
They have become a lot more social. One possible explanation as that they've kept each other warm to survive during the Fallout Ice Age following War Titan Typhon.
They now hunt even more in large schools as before. They can devour a fully grown Hogglo within minuts.
They leave nothing from their unfortuatly victims except ammunition, extractors, hides and the odd wool that are harder to digest.

Any graphical remakes? Of all the mobs in PE, these has to be the simplest and ugliest mobs there is?
I want them to become spooky, just like the fouls became!

They look similar than they used to, but can say at least they stay in the spot they die...they dont sink like they used to.
Anymore productive spots would be greatly appreciated.

I have a better idea. Remove rippersnappers from everywhere and confine them into a few areas instead.
Like in a LA... full of stalkers. Now they are more annoying than a prey...

There is a huge spawn south of Z. Citadel. As far as I know this is the only big spawn found. It's pretty big too!

Damage test
My socmate Bones is camping Rippersnappers at the moment so we decided to do some damage testing.
Firstly we checked that Goblin didn't decay, and it didn't, so we can rule out Impact and Acid, so the Stab/Cut looks to be correct, barring any weird damage types. So let's assume for the moment that they do only Stab and/or Cut.
In unplated Gremlin, Bones took a hit of 7.9 from a Provider which decayed the armour 1.230 pec. Using Coop's damage formula we can see that this corresponds to 16.9 damage absorbed, and without protection the hit would have been for 24.8.
Since some damage was received, the Gremlin must have protected either Stab or Cut to its maximum extent. So on this particular hit we must have absorbed either 11 Stab+5.9 Cut, or 9 Cut+7.9 Stab.
Entropedia says the maximum hit from a Provider is 25, and 24.8 is 99.2% of 25. If we scale up the figures using the same proportion, we could get 6 Cut in the first case, or 8 Stab in the second case. The fitted figures are close to a whole number so either of these looks feasible, and the 25 maximum would appear to be correct.
So a Provider does either 19 Stab+6 Cut or 8 Stab+17 Cut on a maximum hit.
Doing the same test with 5b (using Goblin as a dummy armour with no protection against the mob) Bones got a 4.0 hit which decayed the plate 1.094 pec. This corresponds to 15.1 damage absorbed, and therefore a 19.1 total hit. So the absorbed damage from this hit was either 8 Stab+7.1 Cut, or 9 Cut+6.1 Stab.
19.1 is 76.4% of 25, so again using this figure to scale up the numbers, we can see that in the first case we would get a maximum Cut damage of 9.3, which doesn't fit with the Gremlin data. However in the second case we would get 8 Stab, which fits with one of the two options we identified with the Gremlin test.
So a Provider does 17 Cut and 8 Stab, and if we approximate this to a percentage we can say that Rippersnappers do approximately 66% Cut/33% Stab.
To fully verify this we'd need to rule out the unlikely-sounding Burn, Penetration, Electric, Cold and Shrapnel damages, which I haven't done yet but which should be easy to check with Vigi+6a.
