Hello! Can someone please tell me why my snake plant leaf looks this way? Should I cut it off. It feels moist as well.

It could be root rot, I would check the roots and if possible repot with a succulent/cactus soil . They’re pretty good with not being watered as often as other plants

Ok. What else should I use to repot it?

You could also just use regular potting soil and add orchid bark and perlite to make it chunkier . I know miracle gro also just has a potting soil mix called succulent/cactus mix

A terracotta pot also wouldn’t be a bad idea to let her dry out quicker
