Iirc bats are endangered or close to it. I could be wrong but I heard that some where. I want this little guy/gal to live a good life should I just let it be or is there something I could do to make him/her live a life of luxury

I'd call animal control, they can give you advice even if they won't come out. I would not keep bats around, it is extremely common for them to have rabies.

Damn my dumbass didn't even think of that. It seems pretty scared of humans. everytime I walk up to my door it flies off into the night but returns within an hour from what I can tell. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what's up

My guess is that it's fine then, I think rabies usually makes animals not give a shit about things like that, but I still wouldn't risk it personally.

Bats are dangerous and can potentially carry rabies. Get a professional to catch it for you; you don't want it hanging around.

Rabies can also take years to manifest in the carrier, so...

EDIT: nvm, apparently that does not apply to bats.

They're fine... unless TC decides to go out with them. Then it's a wrap. But he is the hero we need right now.

You could alway install a bat box so the bat can live somewhere a little more convenient for you and a little more secure for the bat then your porch.

Nothing. It eats the bugs around your house. Do you know how many bats probably fly around your house every night,?
Now, if it was in your bed sleeping with you every night I would say let your Mom know about it.
Quit being a sissy.

Get a bat house and hang it away from any doors. If there's one bat in the area, there are many. Give them a place to nest away from your porch and they'll use it.

Could you attract a horde of bats if you put multiple bat houses all over your land?

It may get into your ventilation/ceiling and eventually wander inside, get trapped and shit everywhere.

Happened with my apartment :(

Your average bat can slip through spaces/cracks about as narrow as the thickness of dime and it doesn't need to be very wide either. Their fur makes them look thicker then they are and their bodies are oily and flexible.

Kinda similar to rats or cats ability to fit through shockingly small spaces.

I'd recommend taking a close look at your home for any openings and take measures to fix any cracks and see if its possible to add some anti bat/bird covers to things chimney or vents. Building a bat house nearby may encourage them to roost their instead of on/in your home as well.

Because many bats are protected so it may be illegal to remove it without it actually entering the living areas or being aggresive/rabid. Also it eats pest bugs like Mosquitoes.

Yeah, an exterminator told me that bats and mice can enter an opening the size of a dime.
