Overgrown beak?

I noticed today that my star tortoise looks to have a sharp beak. I usually don't like to bother her at all since she seems to get stressed out easily which is probably why I didn't notice it sooner. I always feed her on top of that flat rock to try to keep the beak short. What do you guys think? I would try to take another pic but she just gets in her shell and I don't want to freak her out. Does anyone know how to upload a video? You can see it better that way. ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1487031755.070357.jpg

You can post a video on You Tube and then copy and paste it here.
It looks a little pointy to me from this photo.
I'd just trim a teeny bit off the end using nail clippers.
Beautiful tort, by the way.:)

Still won't play for me here, but I went into the youtube link and watched it.
I wouldn't worry about the beak, I don't think.
