Here are the records for three '04 JCPs that I have. The breeder included shedding records since they hatched, so this is for their whole life up to date. I included approximate weights for the sheds since I have had them.
Male
7/18/04
8/2/04
8/19/04
11/27/04 (~100g)
12/18/04 (~120g)
1/15/05 (~145g)
1/24/05 (~140g-no meals since last shed, switched to new larger cage just after last shed)
3/3/05 (~250)
Female 1 (good eater)
7/20/04
8/19/04
11/21/04 (~100g)
1/24/05 (~150g-switched to larger cage as well in mid Jan)
3/5/05 (~200g)
5/25/05 (~350g)
Female 2 (picky eater)
7/20/04
8/19/04
11/7/04 (~65g)
1/23/05 (~70g-switched to larger cage as well in mid Jan)
5/21/05 (~125g)
It looks like (but who knows with only a sample size of 3) when I switched them over to a new larger enclosure it kind of caused them all to go into shed. Even the male that had just shed on 1/15 shed just after being put in the new cage, and he hadn't eaten a thing since the last shed. Interesting. Thanks for asking about this because if someone hadn't I wouldn't have taken the time to analyze this info at all. Hopefully someone can chime in with some more info though.
