Looking for 101 tortoise info :)

[Cendalla]

I have a plethora of snakes and tarantulas but have been having a tortoise itch for a couple of years. Is there a good place to go for reliable information so I can educate myself from the ground up? I would be looking at keeping one indoor/outdoor (as the season permits on the north western Washington coast). I have a whole down stairs of a split entry that I can make into a tortoise paradise- but right now I'm just looking for temperature, diet, specie temperaments, benefits of one versus multiple, and the like.

I really appreciate any help you can give me!
Thanks,
Erin
