Hatch times depend on a few factors and not just temperatures...

The amount of humidity the eggs are taking in is also a factor so your incubation substrate and how it was set up is also a factor...

Carbon dioxide is also a factor... When carbon dioxide levels increase in a nest spot of incubation container it acts as a hatch trigger...

Also, oxygen intake is a big factor in hatch time... The more oxygen eggs take in during incubation, the faster the embryo develops...

These are just some other things besides temperature to consider when we talk about hatch times...
