I do believe that catching snaeks using traps is illegal in most parts of the U.S. with out a proprer permit for doing so. I guess pit traps are the most popular this involves setting up a fence adn running it along the ground and place buckets in the ground every few yards along the fence. The idea is that the snakes will follow the fence and fall into the bucket, i don't know if a trap like this would be useful considering the size of the snake in the picture. I wuold set out trash such as tin or carpet or boards in the area the snake was caught and see what turns up underneath it.
P.S. Is that a joke did you serioulsy catch that snake ?
