How do I achieve this in life? Real question. I’ve always wanted bats as like pets or at least a relationship like this with them. How do I do this?

Become a wildlife rehabilitator. Bats are terrible terrible pets.

I know…. I done some research to try and achieve this goal…. But thank you for your answer. I now have to go do more research. “Hey Alexa, where is the nearest bat rehabilitation center?”

If you do find one nearby, you can always offer to volunteer some weekly hours. They probably always need some shit-shovelers!

Could you... Keep the shit? Is that allowed?

I mean, free guano. I can use it for my.... Exotic plants....

Considering it's pretty toxic...

I’m sure you could just slip some in the ol’ prison wallet

You don't. You can do research on working in wildlife rehab, but you'll likely need special training, permits, and loads of vaccinations.
