I'd guess around 2500 grams.

Carpet pythons are known for being able to eat very large food items. They can probably take around 40% of their weight, but meals ranging from 10-20% of weight would be a decent sized meal in captivity.

It's easy to forget how slender some carpets are.. my male bci at 7ft was about 3.5-4kg. So I was shocked to see you say only 2.5kg!
