You definately should see a vet. I've been told by my vet that if the snake has parasites it may not eat. At least a trip to the vet will determine if he's healthy or not. A year is a long time. If he is healthy, and your husbandry is correct, the vet can tube the snake. Feed it through a long skinny tube that is inserted into the throat. He can mix in a appetite stimulant that may help as well. If you don't REALLY know EXACTLY what your doing, like most of us who seek help on the forum, a vet is your best way to help your snake.
