How warm do you keep them? My baby water snakes activity is almost directly correlated with how warm they are. At about 70 degrees they are calm and slither slowly through your hand when you hold them, and you put the temp up to 80 or so and they are quite spaztic sometimes. So maybe try handling the snake when its a bit cooler. This might not be the problem, its just a possibility.
