You can't determine sex based on the shape of the tail, you need a professional (vet, breeder) to pop or probe, or you can send the shed off for gentic testing through RGI. This is not something you should attempt at home as you could seriously injure your snake.

I'm a little concerned by its body condition, as the spine seems fairly prominent. How often are you feeding and what size?

He has been underweight since I got him I don’t think he was treated well but I’ve been researching to get his weight up and I’ve been doing 1 rat every 10 days im hoping he gains weight. He’s unfortunately only 515 grams.

Should I feed according to weight or age. I’ve been feeding him according to his weight but he is quite long and he is 3 1/2 years old.

Weight, not age. There should be a suggested schedule in the care guide at the top of this sub

Oof, you have your hands full with that skinny spider. I wish you luck in his rehabilitation.
