Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Does the size of a snake matter?

Yesterday my Dad killed a 5 1/2 foot rattlesnake in my Moms flower garden. She said if a snake that big had bitten her that she probably wouldn't have made it back in the house to call 911.
Does the size of the snake affect the toxicity of its venom? In other words, if a 5 1/2 foot rattlesnake bit me would it kill me quicker than a bite from a 1 foot rattlesnake?
