I don't quite know what's going on. halo.get_sphere() should give you
a YT sphere centered on the center of mass of the halo, with radius of
.maximum_radius(). Perhaps it's not halo 5 that's giving you the
error? Or there's an error in what you're printing?

I agree with Matt that you should take a close look at what you are
asking from these halos, and if one or just a few cells are sufficient
to give you that.
