I would start on F/T rats also. Look at the snake when you get it and see what you think in regards to size. Most carpets take a bit larger meals than other snakes. My yearling JCP is now on rat pups and ready to move up to weaned rats soon. They are voracious eaters if you get a good one! Just watch your fingers when it comes time to feed them.
