Do rattlesnakes "restock" their venom after a bite or milking session? How long does it take for them to produce venom?

After their supply has been milked out by a venom lab, it takes them about 2 weeks to get back up to full capacity. (Bill Haast pers.comm.) However, after they bite something, they still have enough venom for many more bites. I can't say how many, because it depends on the species.
