Technically what you are describing here is Triple Het X Triple Het.
So what you have is two animals that each have one gene each for three different morphs. Giants are the het version of the Super Giant. So if you breed Giant X Giant you have a 1/4 chance for each egg to be a "Super Giant". The only way you could have all supers in a clutch would be Super Giant X Super Giant. Another possibility would be for all giants in a clutch, you would have to cross a Super Giant X Normal = all regular giants.
More than likely the pair that you have are from a Super Giant X Blazing Blizzard breeding. Now giantism is Co-Dom meaning the het form is visibly different from both the normal and super(homo) forms. Blazing blizzards on the other hand are a double recessive designer leopard gecko (Homo Blizzard and Homo Albino in one animal).
So basically if you breed that pair together you have a 1/4 chance per egg of getting a Super Giant, a 1/4 chance per egg of getting an albino, and a 1/4 chance per egg of getting a Blizzard. In this clutch you have many possibilities as to what will be produced; Giants, Super Giants, Albinos, Het albinos, Blizzards, het blizzards, Blazing Blizzards(albino blizzard) and combinations of the three traits! The gold medal winner that would be the hardest combination to get would be a "Super Giant(homo) Blazing(homo albino) Blizzard (homo)" Should be pretty cool to see once it is eventually produced, a 100 gram Red eyed Leucisitic!
Hope this helps,
Dan
