Just writing because this info is not correct listed above, I'm not trying to be a turd, just trying to stop misinformation from spreading.
"Giant x Giant should produce (statistically speaking) 50% Giant and 50% Super Giant."
This is wrong, you do not have a 50% chance of producing a Super Giant, you have a 1/4 chance. Think of it as Het. Albino X Het. Albino; you would get 1 normal, 2 hets, and 1 albino. Same thing as with Giant(het) X Giant(het), you would get 1 normal, 2 giants(heterozygous giant), and 1 super giant(homozygous giant).
"As far as the double het, I believe that it's a 1/16 chance of hatching out a Blizzard or an Albino, then a 1/32 chance of hatching out a Blazing Blizzard. Although I'm not 100% sure on that, so it may be more or less. "
This as well is incorrect, if you breed Double Hets together, you have a 1/16 chance per egg of producing a double homozygous animal(aka Blazing Blizzard). As for producing a Super Giant Blazing Blizzard, I'm not sure what the chances are, but I believe it is more along the lines of 1/64 or so, not positive on that though.
What needs to be remembered is that this is a Triple Het. X Triple het. breeding and there will be an extraordinary amount of combinations for the three traits, visibly and with what genes they carry that aren't being expressed (aka what they are het for regarding recessives).
