it's hard for me to envision the size of your carpet, but at 3 ft long, it should be able to eat a rat that's 1.5 times its girth at the widest point of its body.

Do you got a pic you can post of it with something in it to show its size? If it's 14 months old it should be able to be eatting something bigger then a hopper. Also you should switch it over to rats asap. That type of snake will get to be a good size when it is an adult so it needs to be on rats or else you will have to be feeding it a ton of mice every feeding time. SOmetimes snakes can get hooked on one type of food so make sure you get it onto rats before he gets stuck on mice. You might want to get him a new tank pretty soon too. He won't last too long in a 10g. He sounds like he might be too big for it already.

I have an IJ who is a total mouser, and I've had some success "scenting" rats with mice.
