what the title says! a lot of the new growth is yellow and brittle, but some is perfectly healthy and some leaves are also yellow and mushy (2nd pic)?? the symptoms are confusing me because they seem opposite!
i water maybe once every 1.5 months, it doesn’t receive a lot of light especially now that it’s winter – is it also a lighting issue?

Probably overwatering tbh. If they are in low light and winter they barely need any water. I stop watering my succulents around October and start again when it gets warmer again
Yellow and mushy is usually sure sign of over watering. Those will dry out and get dry and brittle so maybe the dry bits are just the older ones that were previously mushy. I have mine in front of a south facing window AND under grow lights in winter and still only water once or twice during that time.
I agree with overwatering, but that plant would also appreciate more light. See how thin and narrow the bottom of the plant is? That’s !etiolation, which could also be contributing to your yellowing leaves.
How often do you water?
Yellow = overwatering.

Snake plants which I have, I will place them in a very bright location that receives a lot of light. I water mine once a month or every month and a half. They’re all potted in a well draining cactus and succulent potting mix.
If your leaves are yellow and mushy most often it’s because your plant(s) are receiving too frequent watering and or sitting in soggy, mushy soil and causing the roots to rot.
Invest in a moisture meter if you don’t already have one.
Just a FYI, just because a certain plant says that they can tolerate low light conditions doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll be happy and thrive. It slows their growth. Some plants will decline and die as well. Snake plants aka Sansevieria and now are classified as Dracena need and prefer 500 foot candles or higher of bright light.
I would strongly recommend watching YouTube channels that explain care of plants.
That pet rock is so cute!
