it doesn’t look sick but maybe a little yellow, could it maybe be overwatered?

Let the soil of the spider plants completely dry out! They store a lot of water in their thick finger like roots. It’s better to under water than over water these plants. Under watering can lead to root rot, fungus and pests.
