rain

Hey guys i Have a Pair of Female Star Tortoises in Maldives. Ive had them since i was 10. Theyre 21 Years old this year. My question is i keep them outdoors and whenever it rains especially Heavily, i bring them in and place them under The heat Lamp. But then they go out again in the rain. Now...

Trying to do my research as to which breed would do best up here in Portland, Oregon. I definitely can't go Sulcata big. I'll be keeping the future tortoise in my basement (in winter) which seems to maintain a humidity of 60% on it's own. Also would like one that likes petting.
