Personally, I have offered food the day we got home and they have eaten, but I have also had snakes refuse a meal or 2.

I keep them in a rack, and I find it's easier for them to transition from a breeders rack to mine and that is a part of the success I have with feeding the same week I get them.
I think you're right about easier transitioning from breeder racks to personal racks. That said, even the one's I have in reptile cages have never chilled for 2 weeks before eating a meal! Like you said, every snake and situation is different! In fact, I'm feeding my new 8Ballers tomorrow night (Thursday) since that's my feeding night and some of them seem totally ravenous!!
