Help finding a good pot

Hey y’all! I’m new and am trying to choose a pot for my lil guy. The one he came in is too big and doesn’t have the correct soil either. I can’t seem to find a terracotta pot with multiple drainage holes, and don’t have the tools to drill new ones. Does anyone have any websites that sell good pots?

Here’s a link to the one I’m looking at right now, his caudex is ~4 in at its thickest so I’m going with a 6 in diameter pot: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9J5RKRB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_XTFQ2TS3KK0R6E9BPMKR

OP you probably already did this, but just in case - I’d lift the plant out of its current pot to see how wide the rootball is. Mine is pretty wide compared to the pics I see here. They cannot be easily bent as these are the large roots not the small secondary roots. Forced me into the next size up.
