Can you post a picture of the "white thing" ? Increased basking shouldn't be a concern unless there are other symptoms. What do you mean by lazy? is it just that it's basking more than usual? Mine has been basking a lot lately, but it's getting colder here. By the way, do you live in a warm area that you're able to take your RES outside everyday?
