Hello and welcome to GF
It could be that you've over watered it, it doesn't need a lot because it's a succulent.

You think so?,, maybe I overwatered it, thanks for answering, I thought it needed some sunlight

Best to underwater a snake plant than to over water. They do not like it and will yellow. Air rate the soil by sticking holes in in it with a chop stick or skewer or pencil. Well anything along those lines, it will release moisture from the soil.

You are welcome! I have a few snake plants, sometimes I dont water them for a few weeks. They are fine. Cut the yellowing off, actually they may just pull out. The plant will put the energy back to existing leaves and eventually put out new leaves and a baby snake plant! They grow faster in sunlight.
