I would use caution in this case and not spray the roses, or fence the roses that are sprayed off until you are sure there is no oil left. Better safe than sorry when it comes to the health of your tort.
FYI ; Cautions and side effects:
Women who are pregnant or nursing should not take neem, and it should also not be administered to children. Neem use by young children may cause severe poisoning. Oral use of neem over an extended period of time may cause liver damage.

But your back yard while he is familiar with it, has plants and weeds that he wouldn't normally come in contact with. So if he was in the wild his instinct would kick in, but those same instincts don't kick in in your back yard. For some reason I am having a very hard time making myself clear on the computer this morning...guess I should just go lay down...audios..
