Do you have a specific question? With what, and how you asked it you will not receive much useful information.
The money trap springs to mind
Actions speak louder than words
Perhaps start with a book on trapping. Good you know how to snare, can you also make a spring snare if not its worth learning as well. Traps will depnd on what your trying to catch certain sizes are for certain animals also the way you prepare the set is different for certain animals.

I started with this book. It gives a lot of good, simple traps. If you get good enough that you can do these in your sleep, there are a number of other books on the subject.

Connibear is a pretty serious trap.

Let me see. Snares. Deadfalls. Legholds. Body grippers. Depends on what your trying to catch and what equipment you have available. Most anything can be snared but a large body gripper or a large leghold will cut down on what your able to trap. Ya need different sizes for different critters. Best you find a book like the trappers Bible or if ya can find one The Trappers Guide by O.L. Butcher. Both great books for the beginer.

or you can youtube the traps you want to learn and watch the videos on how to make them and how they work i find this works best because some of the videos are very discripted whal the books can leave some questions unanswered
