Quick question, what is the recommended length for an Elongates beak?

usually it can be quite obvious if it needs to be trimmed - there can be a slight overhang which can cause a toritose no problems at all but without a photo no one can really tell you if its beak is too long or just ok.
There may be some information concerning this on the tortoise trust website!!
