Impossible. Rate of moulting varies according to age, feeding, reproduction, as well as just mere individual variation. About the only thing you can say for sure amount to generalizations: A more frequently fed animal will shed more often than one fed less frequently, younger animals shed more frequently than older ones, and there will be a predictable "pre lay" shed a few days before oviposition....
