The bugs could be almost anything. Most types shouldn't be a problem for your snake. Since you only have one snake there is a fairly simple way to heat treat your substrate and take care of any bugs or eggs that may be in it before you use it. Put the substrate (make sure it has some moisture in it) in a large plastic bag, seal it and put it in the microwave long enough to get it hot. Leave the bag sealed until the substrate cools. After cooling you should be all set and bug free.
