They will all be het for albino (unless the male turns out to be het as well in which case some of the babies will be albinos).
There may be a range of pattern from banded to aberrant to jungle to stripe
There will be a range of spotting from reduced to hypo and possibly a superhypo
They will mostly be tangerine colored

Good luck.

I think a lavender sunglow is a hypo tangerine tremper albino. The lavender can either be caused by incubation temperature or genetics - depending on where you got it from. "Lavender" tends to be a term thrown around a bit and used to describe different traits that have a purple tinge to them. I don't know if there's any way to tell whether the gecko comes from lavender lines unless the breeder can give you some info on where the parents and grand parents came from.

When crossed to a hypo jungle male I think Aliza's right on the money. You'll get a range of hypo, a range of pattern, a range of size and all offspring will be het tremper - unless, of course, your male has hidden hets. If he does you may get some albinos if he has Tremper in his background (most likely kind of albino for a giant to have).

When you combine geckos from different lines with different traits you never know exactly how the polygenic traits will interact. So I'm not sure anyone can give you any more insight. Those two actually look a lot alike (albino aside) you might get some interesting stuff or a lot of normal to tangerine looking geckos.
