Corn problem

Hi Everyone.
I hope you can put me at ease!
I recently purchased my very first snake. A rather nice red coloured corn snake. I did a lot of research before I bought it and have a nice large vivarium set up with everything to meet its needs. Unfortunatly, I was looking at the snake today and all the scales that run down the centre of its back seem to be 'peeling'. There is a clear coat on them wich seems to be lifting up at one end. Is this a precursor to shedding? The snake does not seem to be distressed at all. It is quite active at night and is feeding well. There are no visible signs of any parasites etc.

I look forward to your response,

Regards,

Richard.
