white fuzz on baby snapper

HI everyone. I've had a baby snapper about 2 weeks in about 3 inches of water in a ten gallon tank with filter. I dump all the water and clean everything weekly. He (or she) is eating reptomin sticks fine, but I see it's developing a whiteish fuzz on the neck, legs and edge of the shell and I'm wondering if he should have a UVA/UVB light like my slider does. Right now he has an ordinary light which gives off decent heat. He has a hiding place and a rock to come out of the water, though I never see him do that. I'm tempted to find someone's toothbrush and scrub him down.
