When mine were fairly small they’d molt every couple of weeks. As they’ve grown, it’s now about every 4-5 weeks. Do they stop molting when they are full grown?

Asking out of curiosity more than anything.
 
They'll molt about once a month, if they go much longer than that, it's probably a bad sign. The night of the molt, they'll release any eggs they carry, and fertilization of the next batch also happens when they molt.

As others have said. Mine is full grown and molts about once a month.
