Net Trapping
Required Items: Small Fishing Net and a Rope.
Required Quests: Nature Spirit, and Priest in Peril (for Green Lizards)
Nets are used to trap lizards and salamanders, however these reptiles do not appear in the normal hunting regions, with the exception of Orange Salamanders found in the desert region.
To obtain the bait for a Salamander or Lizard, you must first gain their related herbs:
Green Lizard - Guam Leaf
Orange Salamander - Marrentill
Red Salamander - Tarromin
Black Salamander - Harralander
Next head to Lumbridge Swamps and collect 15 pieces of Swamp Tar. While carrying a Pestle and Mortar, use the Swamp Tar with an herb to ground it up and get the tar of the related herb. Now go to the location, for the salamander you wish to catch. You need to find a tree which when you select will allow you to lay a net trap.
Then either just wait, or add the bait, step back and wait. When you capture the lizard or salamander the net will look like:
Check the net, and you will obtain the lizard or salamander.
Notes:
At level 39, you can use a lit torch with your Net Trap to remove your scent and increase to chance of capturing your prey.

Pitfall Trapping
Required Items: Logs, Knife, Teasing Stick
Pitfall trapping are used to capture, the larger creatures, that can't be caught normally with small hunting tricks. You can lay Pitfall traps in the jungle region hunting Larupias, on Karamja, northeast of Cairn Island, you can hunt horned Graahks, and in the snow region Sabretoothed Kyatts.
Once you have laid your traps, you need to lay two in case you don't capture the creature the first time, you need to use a Teasing Stick on the creature you wish to capture, and when it is chasing you, jump one of your pitfall traps. The creature chasing you will either walk on it and fall into the trap or jump the trap, and the creatures will not jump the same trap twice, so if it gets by your first one, jump your second and continue going around until you capture it.
