Most snakes bellies will turn a reddish before a shed. Is this red coloration located just at the vent or is it along the total length of the belly? If it is the length of his belly it's more than likely a sign of oncoming shed. Have you noticed the eyes turn cloudy bluish color yet? This is another sign that oyur boa is getting ready to shed. After the eyes clear up from being cloudy blue.. It will usually be about a week before it sheds.
About the soak.. Some snakes kinda freak somewhat when dumped in a tub. You can try puting a branch in the tub with him so he can hang on to it and feel more secure. Also, I sometimes put my snakes in a tote and soak them there. This way you dont have to stand over him and can get other things done. I have a couple snakes that kinda freak and try to gte out. After awhile they calm down and I can leave the room for an hour and they are still in the same position.
It also depends on how much water is in the tub. Dont fill the water up over half way up on his side. This way he still lays on the botton of the tub and will fell a little more secure.
