I've found pictus eggs easier to incubate than leo eggs. The are hard shelled and more forgiving of any environmental inadequacies. I personally would not put more than 1.3 in a 20 long though you could probably go with more. I'm not sure about the length of pictus hatchlings, but in overall size they are about 1/2 to 1/3 the size of a leo hatchling. Hope this helps.
