About Jungle Boyz Exotics
The Passion Behind the Brand
Solofa Halley, founder of Jungle Boyz Exotics (JBE), has been surrounded by animals since childhood. Inspired by Steve Irwin’s contagious love for wildlife, Solofa’s fascination began with classroom pets — from turtles to Dumbo rats — and grew into a lifelong passion for exotic animals. At 18, he brought home his first snake, a corn snake named Corn, and his journey officially began.
How It All Started
What began as a simple act of sharing his snakes with the public quickly drew crowds. People were stopping to ask questions, take photos, and face their fears — and Solofa loved every minute of it.
In 2015, during Tulsa’s Mayfest, a spontaneous moment changed everything. When a friend jokingly charged five dollars for a photo with the snakes, the crowd didn’t hesitate — and Jungle Boyz Exotics was born. Solofa soon began performing around Tulsa, taking his snakes to Riverside and Downtown, and eventually built the business from the ground up.
From the Streets to the Spotlight
Today, Jungle Boyz Exotics hosts interactive animal encounters, birthday parties, school visits, and professional photoshoots featuring snakes, lizards, birds, and more.
Solofa’s work has taken him across the country, collaborating with celebrities like Rihanna, Young Jeezy, Cobra from VH1’s Black Ink Crew, and members of Love & Hip-Hop Miami.
