I'd call her a giant, Kimbly.
She sure has the head for it. Are you breeding her this year? If so, please keep me in mind for a male hatchling. From what little I read about these animals, any hatchling that is over 100 grams is considered a giant. For sure if you hatch a few males that big, I'd love one! Even if it's a normal.
It's awesome we are finally seeing more of these amazing big girls.
I think the main reason we don't really see males with the same label is that females get bigger anyway, so naturally you are drawn to the visually bigger females. Although, I've heard from one or two people who claim to own 6' males, and it would not surprise me if the snake is a male and is 6' that it's a giant as well.
My hope is to one day see if the offspring from these massive girls can be selectively bred for the size. Can you imagine a 7000 gram pied ? A 7000 gram bumblebee? And with the massive clutches these girls are known for, what a treat to get maybe 9 or 10 babies with the potential to get that big!
