What states can I legally own a pet bat?

Alabama, Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin! A bat in the wild can live up to 30 years while only a few pet bats will make it to a year. Bats need special care, housing, and nutrition. While you should always treat any bat you come into contact with as a wild animal, they are really gentle in nature. They aren't going to bite you to suck your blood. This is why when bats are startled they tend to flock out of that location as swiftly as they can. They don't try to attack humans on their way through.

Explanation: I am pretty sure these are the places you can keep exotic animals such as bats! Have a good day Hope you get a bat :)))
