hi lindsay, i too have a Mediterranean spur thighed tortoise,female,around 40 years old, she has her own 'ranch' in the garden and i avoid using any sprays in the back garden because of the tortoise(and the chickens!). my front lawn also has moss in it, being partially shaded, and find scarifying twice a year helps a lot, followed by more grass seed. haven't got rid of it completely but maybe persistence is the key(have only lived here for two growing seasons) will keep trying!
