So, before growing up and having many activities supported by militant volunteers, what is the story of the formation of Exalos Indonesia?
"Initially founded in 2016 under the name Exalos Solo. It was only a hobbyist community to accommodate those who keep snakes, conduct education, and those who buy and sell animals," said the chairman of Exalos Indonesia, Janu W. Widodo, at his official residence at Brigif 6, Palur, Mojolaban, Sukoharjo, Central Java.
Janu joined Exalos (Exotic Animal Lovers) Solo, which had only been founded nine years ago. The hobbyist community then developed into a community of volunteers and snake rescuers. As it continued to exist and develop, Exalos Solo changed its name to Exalos Indonesia in 2019.

Exalos Indonesia's activities are also more focused on saving reptiles. But then it progressed to handling wasps. Now the community has removed the buying and selling of snakes and other reptiles. "We have around 600 volunteers in 26 regional areas such as in Dumai, Palembang, Lampung, Jambi, Sorong, Fakfak, Jakarta, Bandung, Tegal, Brebes, Solo Raya, Madiun, Kediri, Surabaya and others," said Janu.
Janu said that people who ask Exalos Indonesia for help to save animals are free of charge. Because Exalos Indonesia is a social community. Simply contact 08386909727 and the Exalos Indonesia team will immediately turn to handle.
