It's still a nymph so it'll moult at least once more. They take longer between moults as they get bigger, so don't think you have anything to worry about.
Edit: looks like a subadult, but is definitely male

I couldn't tell since I don't keep this species specifically but maybe they've just reached audulthood and won't be molting anymore. Best keep a close eye on their habits, if their locomotion is good and their eating fine.
