Thisis a questions I can not find the answer to!!!!
does it or does it not matter the size difference between the two?
Mi have searched everywhere but not found the answer
 
no .

i have had a 5 foot male mate with 8 - 9 foot female successfully. it would have been 1/3rd of the weight of the female who had 30 eggs.

i have also had a 8 foot male twice the weight of a 5 foot female successfully mate - 14 eggs
 
The weight and condition of the female will effect clutch size. The size of the male is irrelevent (as long as hes sexually mature) as with most animals one ejaculation generally contains more than enough sperm to fertilize available eggs.
