Is a big scorpion bite better then a little one?

First, scorpions don't bite. They either a) sting you with their tails or b) kill you with their claws. Big scorpions generally have bigger claws but have weaker venom (as they have no use for their venom if they can kill with their claws) and smaller scorpians are usually more venomous. Hope this helps :)
