      I have a dev version of my website, for example, devwww.website.com.

      The htaccess page has a noindex and nofollow request, but I got crawl issues reported from these pages in my Moz report. Does this mean that I don't have the development site hidden from search like I thought I did?

        Houston,

        As per Moz's help resources  for crawl diagnostics, Moz doesn't actually index pages and your noindex tag will have no effect on their crawl.  Rather, if your pages are blocked by your robots.txt, Moz will not crawl them.
