1. Nero can use his wings to fly out, though it'll last only a second or two so he will need to be fast. 2. They can find some corpses to use as bait. There are a few captives who are in poor shape or have recently passed. They may need to be discreet or make sure they aren't taking away someone's newly passed friend to be eaten, or a small amount of trouble might arise. The corpses will smell strongly of rotting vegetation, though this might be difficult to discern from the cave's air itself.
Trapping the monster will be possible. They'll need to be sure to block off the other end first before proceeding to lure the creature inside and sealing up the entrance. You can choose to seal the entrance using any reasonable method, but heavy rocks would be best. They can also use thorny vines to create an effect similar to barbed wire to secure the creature further.
Whether the creature stays trapped or if it has any offspring wandering elsewhere remains to be seen. However, for at least the next several days the creature will be absent. They can hear it hissing and growling from inside the tunnel.
Of course, with less competition over its hunting grounds the Bone Serpent may make more frequent appearances. Luckily, his tendrils are easier to contend with than this winged creature so they may consider circumstances marginally improved.
