I would like to sell some babies next year at the St. Louis show(s), they start in June,I think. So...that's end of Feb. for breeding and 6 weeks of feeding before that. Two weeks to warm up and two month brumation. So, stop feeding in middle of October?

When do most of start the cycle??
 
Working back from your desired selling date:

*June: Have reliably feeding hatchlings ready to sell
*First week in May: Hatching (followed by 3 weeks to establish feeders)
*Late February/early March: Laying (followed by 9 weeks or just over 60 days for incubation)

I think you'd need to start mating late January/early February to get eggs in time, so maybe the process needs to start a bit earlier than you'd initially planned and make the brumation shorter?
