My snake plant is starting to look bad. It was in a darker area so I moved it to a brighter place. I just made this change but was wondering if I should do anything else.

Don’t make too many changes at once or you won’t know what was beneficial and what wasn’t. Give it some time. You’ll prob need to water a little more since it’s in a brighter location

Since you already moved it, wait a bit and watch. When is the last time you repotted? My snakes like cramped pots, but they do get to the point of having more root than dirt and need a new home 😀

I got the plant only a few months ago and have never repotted it

If you moved it abruptly from a dark space to a much brighter spot without acclimating first, it is most likely shock. After a tantrum period it should adjust. Give it a lil time.
