As you know i have 3 pomatia's one nemorlis and two baby snails i dont know. I have found some soft soil and saw some bugs in it i didnt bother to pick them out and put it all on a plate and put in microwave for 20 minuits (is that enough time) Will the bugs die and what will i do with the bodys? will the bodies just disintergrate or will the snails eat them Bugs- a black small jumping thing that didnt escape and a white worm.

Uh-oh. I don't use microwaves, but I have a feeling 20 minutes would be way too much. Yes, the bugs will die (and any larvae or eggs), and you can just leave them in it. The snails may or may not eat the remains; the bugs will disintegrate anyway.

Perhaps you should stick with commercially available substrates that won't have to be microwaved. If you checked the soil beforehand, how did the shells show up in it?
