Rosies are not prolific, and take ~5 years to raise to breeding size. That's one reason why they aren't more popular -- there aren't enough of them.
This is also the reason why there isn't any money to be made breeding them (or most other herps for that matter). Food, a room, heating costs, vet bills, and ~5 neos a year per female (if they don't miss a year) makes for somewhere around break-even, not counting your labor. A person would be many thousands of dollars ahead buying Amazon stock, or getting a part time job at a gas station, during the five years it would take to get things rolling.
