Good luck in your search, but know that no one wants to put a whole year into a new hatchling and then sell it for the same or less as a new hatchling. The idea is to hatch out your babies and sell them ASAP.

Here is the correct care info. Most of what you'll find is wrong, and the pet shops will certainly steer you wrong.
