Yup, you have a moonshine sansevieria. My fave snake plant. They are versatile and hardy!  
Mine like well draining soil and a terracotta pot. Let it dry out completely before watering. It might feel like it’s been a long time since you’ve watered but resist the urge. I use a chopstick to test the soil at the bottom of the pot for moisture. Until it’s dry, no rain from this sky😋  
I really like snake plants- here’s a few pics of mine:
