How do I keep from jumping when I feed my snakes?

I managed to feed my 6 month old a pinky rat tonight and I barely flinched! Lol I think I just get in my head too much. I really do love feeding though! I always look forward to it.

Not to get too much off topic, but is this a 6 month old BP? If so, an actual pinky rat is most likely too small. There are some very helpful feeding charts on this site. You want to offer prey that is roughly as thick around as the widest point of the snake.
