Re: 14 months since this guy ate....

It was, and still is an uphill battle after 7 months without food, and hes still half the size he should be at his age.
But, this is not about me, this is about Wax's snake. I'm sorry we've been getting so off topic.
At any rate, hes not eatting anything, live, f/t, or p/k? Have you noticed him drinking? and which tub is he located in? Its a strange question, but if its getting cool in your house and hes a lower tub, his temps (and humidity, for that matter) can be off. I'm not expert though, just a thought.
On top of the flagyl, you could ask for a dose of b-vitamins, that should increase his appetite.
The off topic-ness is ok. 
My rack is actually three tubs lined up horizontally on a rack from Lowes with heat tape under the tubs! So all the same. He was also in my bed room in a 20 long set up properly when he first stopped eating. So I don't think location is it. Good idea though!
The snake-room is kept in the high 70's with a room heater and then I have a helix stat wired to 12" flexwatt under the tubs. The helix is set at 95 which keeps the warm end at about 90. Humidity hasn't been a problem... good shed all around. The non-eater even sheds well.
