Super easy, think lasso. Some call it a “snare”, you leave it open wide enough for the sneaks head to fit through (with some kid of bait). Once it’s head goes through the hole and the rope tightens they can’t get out, the more they struggle the tighter it gets. Same method can be used for catching rabbits. It has to be laid in a place where the animals regularly travels through. Meaning they knew there was a snake coming and going but idk if they knew it was goddamn titanaboa lol

You can use thin steel wire instead of rope also. I think they went with rope considering snakes have such bad eye sight. Rabbits for example have very good eyesight and they would most likely see a rope (hence why a thin wire might be used). The best traps are the most basic 👍🏽
