Ok w/ that I would take it in for a fecal / parasite test --- so you have the UVB 5" above the basking decor- that is really close - distance should be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor --- how old is the UVB?

Ok so inches w/ the UVB is good ---- call your vet if you have one --- one preferably a reptile vet here is a website to find one in your area if you are in a small area type in the biggest city closest to you
www.arav.org - call them see if you can drop a fecal off for parasite testing ---- NO enemas!!!! They often end in disaster --- then go from there --- surface basking temps should be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer and 105-110-- roaches usually dont give parasites but crickets do so if he came from the breeder that was feeding crickets he more than likely had the eggs and they have hatched -- but get the fecal done -- then go from there -- then if he doesnt have them we need to figure out other causes for the loose stools ---

you could add some raw shredded sweet potato to firm up the poop but it is really runny --

If the poo has been like that for a week or more without any changes to the diet or husbandry, and its smelling obviously worse than usual, you should get a fecal done.

One off odd poos like that are nothing to be worried about. If it's been happening for weeks though its typically going to be parasites.
