The wobble varies. I currently have 8 jags in my collection and have had 4 others in the past. 11 of the 12 had only very mild symptoms. The other, a male DCI/coastal intergrade, had fairly strong symptoms as a hatchling that manifested themselves at all times, not just times of excitement which is frequently reported. He was quite difficult to feed at first as he either couldn’t hit the prey or couldn’t locate it after he constricted it. For the first 2-3 years the meal would normally be offered 4-6 times before being consumed. The snake is now 11 years old and has become efficient at feeding on offering #1. However, at about 4-5 years of age his equilibrium became increasingly poor. The snake is as likely to be spotted upside down as right side up the past few years. None of the other jags in my admittedly small sample have had any noticeable difference in the degree of their symptoms over the years. However, there is enough reported evidence in other collections to show that it may get worse. And sometimes get better. But I think mostly what you get wobble wise as a youngster is what you will get as an adult.
