Leos can grow pretty fast when kept warm and fed right. My normal sized hatchlings are hitting 30g at about 3.5-4 months of age so it doesn't seem to be overly big. I would personally slow down your gals feeding to every other night until 40 grams and then every 3rd night for the rest of her life (unless she begins to breed). Without knowing her genetic background its hard to say whether she has giant genes or not but without proof that she has the genes you can't technically call her a "giant", just a big leo :)

I have 2 snows that are probable super giants. The female weighs in at 26.2 grams and the male only at 13.4 grams both were hatched on the same day 5/16/13. Weight has little to do with it, it is really all genes so if you don't know them you are kinda stuck with what you can call him or her. Although I will say a less than 2 1/2 months my female is huge!
