Take the head and soak it in peroxide. Was it not full decomposed, or did it just still have skin/scales on it? You said it was there for a year? Should be fully decomposed. I say take pics lol. Peroxide will do wonders for a partially decomposed skull, just watch that it doesn't fall apart, but if it does I will help you.
