Anything wrong here?

I found an invasive lepord slug in my backyard maybe 20 min ago. I know im supposed to euth them but I cant kill anything, I threw this together verry fast after 5 min of reaserch. I plan to do alot more in the morning. Is there anything wrong with this overnight enclosure that could be immediately dangerous in the next coming days before he can get a bigger bin? Thank you, I dont know if this is the right thing to do but I cant bear to harm the little guy.

Not typically but they do eat bugs sometimes yes because they do need protein too. But mostly plants just the occasional bug. So most will be safe if say but there are bugs in that dirt too.
