I guess it's not impossible that you have an undescribed species...but...I would believe Wolfgang that it's not Drymarchon.
If anyone knows...he would. He actually discovered a new species of Drymarchon in Venesuela.
It's not easy catching snakes in traps...and the legality would depend on the region. Also...if you do set traps, you need to check them DAILY and make sure they provide ample shade.
There are traps I've seen that look a lot like a lobster trap
that are easy to get in and difficult to get out...
You run drift fence along in the area where you expect the snake to be...leading into the trap.
The snake crawls to the drift fence...then scoots along the bottom into the secure hiding place of the trap.
They aren't too effective, but they do sometimes work.
