Much more light.
Ur guess would be spot on. I would also suspect root rot if this has been going on more than immediate! Please check ur root system if u suspect this. U need to wash & cut away ant dead roots, brown, brownish, anything that doesnt look healthy. U would also need fresh soil and repot yr plant; if u dont have any available; u wouls also need to wash the soil, rinse and allow to dry on cookie sheet or similar; also wash and disinfect ur pot before repotting. TO WASH: Use a ratio of 3:1 water to 3% peroxide, rinse thoroughly all root system, any soil u plan to re-use, & pot. Make sure aby cleaned soil is dry before reusing (u can also dry in 200 degree oven, but it REALLY stinks!). Ojce u do these steps, then start fresh but be sure u use chopstick abd make sure ur soil is dry before watering, u have drainage and water until it xomes thru the holes. Remember, a plant can tolerate underwatering much better than overwatering so if in doubt, wait a day or 2 to water (in Greg, hit the Snooze button!). Good eye tho and evrry watering give a cursory inspection of ur plants so u catch any anomalies & a detailed inspection whenever u have the time to devote!! Good luck u and ur plant will be fine w ur good eye!!!
Snake plants are a bit different than the other plants in your collection. I’d recommend getting an unglazed terracotta pot to plant your Sally in . That way the soil has more time to get rid of excess water because they grow really well when using succulent soil.
