    Dim the lights in the room (his enclosure should not be light either). Try to minimize your presence- don't move much (or quickly)- observe from a distance (don't "hover"). And say

    My interpretation:

    The big day is finally here. Don’t be nervous. Have a glass of wine (or a shot) with your “can do” attitude, dim the lights, maybe even put on some soothing music, get that prey item nice and warm, introduce the mouse to the snake, leave the two alone, and let nature take it’s course. 😎

    AWESOME!

    One less thing to worry about is always good. I'm so sorry about the loss of your grandfather- just remember that we all go through some tough times- hugs back!

    All the best in college.

    Boger raided the extended emotes section again I see.

    Jokes aside glad your snake finally ate, skreetboy. Hopefully things start looking up for the both of you.
