Ah, and I wouldn't recommend a water snake as a first snake. They can be difficult to switch to mice, and fish and amphibians are often unavailable or carry parasites. They are also finicky about humidity and prone to skin infections and shed problems if conditions are not just right.

A garter, king, or corn is probably a better first snake. And in my experience, kings are often feistier.
