Why not consider switching your water snake over to a rodent diet? Buy and freeze whatever fish your snake particularly likes to eat and use that frozen fish to scent appropriately-sized rodents (pinkie mice or parts thereof in your case). Less of a problem with food availability. Less of a problem with transmission of parasites. I keep a midland water snake, Nerodia sipedon pleuralis, that eats large rats. I had a northern water snake, N. s. sipedon, caught as an adult that lived ten years on a rodent diet.
