I don't have as much trouble with wild animals as I do with neighborhood dogs. They seem to like to use my garden for a playground and my plants suffer. Now I like dogs as long as they are properly cared for and behave but when they mess with my garden that I have put in several hours of work and several dollars I draw the line. If the owners won't do something about it, I will.

You have a 3 toed box turtle (tortoise). See link below: http://www.aboxturtle.com/threetoed.htm The hind legs have 3 or 4 toes; the front legs have 5 toes. I have seen these in southern Illinois as well. These are land animals and people in that part of the country refer to those as "land terrapins". They are often found along roadsides and edges of farm fields.
