Hi moe2004:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

May we know your name and where you are?

Some tortoises go all their life and never need the beak to be trimmed. What makes you ask this question? Maybe if you post a picture we can help you better.

Yes, it may need to be trimmed. That's why I asked for a picture. Some tortoises' beaks are trimmed naturally by grazing and eating off a rough surface. Other tortoises, who have their food cut up for them, may need to have their beaks manually trimmed occasionally.
