Snake Shedding?

Hi all. I am somewhat new to the snake world. I have kept lots and lots of lizards over the years, but snakes are a somewhat unexplored pet category for me.

I recently bought this Mexican King. It has been about a month and 4 days since I first purchased it. It is still super shy and I have been having a tough time getting it to eat. I did finally get it to take a small thawed brained pinkie over two weeks ago, but it seems like a fairly small meal for it.

Today I noticed this peeling on it's face, but it's eyes are not foggy or blue in any way. I am hoping something isn't wrong and that it is just beginning a shed, further explaining the lack of apetite. However, I don't know enough to say one way or another. I was hoping someone could lend some insight to this by the attached photos. Thanks so much!
