Does this pot seem ok for this snake plant? Or is it too big? Too deep?

The pot is the right size. You just need to add soil at the bottom to raise the entire plant up. You only need an inch or less from the pot’s rim to the soil so water does not overflow as you water. Soil that low in the pot stays wetter longer than necessary and could contribute to mold and fungus growth.

The pot looks perfect.

Hello,

Why do you believe the pot is not the best size?

Looks about right to me
