This is the largest box I have ever found https://www.homedepot.com/p/Organiz...Clear-Base-and-Red-Cover-ST53221501/206346063
I bought 2 last year but it is still not large enough while my tortoises are growing larger.
Not sure if there are any more recommendations. I do like those plastic boxes. Even though it is large, its price is still not high. And plastic box is not easy to get mildewed or grow mold when you put it in a high humidity greenhouse or seal it to keep humidity.

another idea I have seem to a large drainage pipe tunnel at a low level between 2 plastic boxes cut down to size and big enough they will not get stuck.

Right after Christmas you can buy the big plastic Christmas tree storage bin at Walmart. They make a fantastic enclosure. They sell out fast, so I would advise that you go a day or two after Christmas. I purchased a greenhouse top on Amazon that fits overs the enclosure, which does a great job of keeping the humidity up.

The Container Store has these with clear top. No permanent sunset to cause stress. They will NOT ship these.
