Here is a link to a page that Tony D. created from several good sources of literature, that goes on to explain a little better some of the very same key points I mentioned regarding temporalis.

Oh,..BTW, many of the guys that frequent this milksnake forum also have some hypomelanistic(greatly reduced black pigment)temporalis, as well as several other localities of normal temporalis from the southeast portion of the country that you'd probably find very interesting. It shouldn't be too long before they chime in with some cool pics of their animals too.
