Hi,
Couple of points to cover.
Yes sometimes when they are shedding they can wheeze and make some odd noises - they are also more likely to do this when breathing heavily, from agitation or excitement at being handled or from being in strange positions that change the way they breathe.
Secondly - don't soak your snake before his shed. It can actually make his shed worse not help as you intended.
Just get his humidity in the tank up to the right level and let him shed on his own - the soaks are for if he doesn't manage to shed well on his own and still has patches left on him after a day or so in a suitably humid enclosure.
