I want to know when my miniature snauzer (male) can bath after his neutering?

When his stitches are taken out- usually 7-10 days after surgery. You need to be sure that the skin incision is completely healed, and you don't want to be getting the stitches wet.

if the stitches need to be removed then right after the stitches are removed unless the vet says there is a reason not to.
If the stitches are dissovlvable then I wait 2 weeks they ussually dissove in 7 to ten days and I give just a couple extra days.

You should wait until the stitches are out but if he has an odor you can get dog wipes at petsmart or even walmart. I've found that baby wipes do just as well and you get more for less. If it is safe enough for a human baby trust me it is safe enough for your four legged baby

when you see some scabbing take place and healing- then you can give him a bath, we bathed ours about a week or so following his surgery. Try to avoid the stitched area though, don't soap or scrub, work around to avoid the area so it doesn't become infected or irritated.
