" Where do you stand on if they don't eat right away though? Do you still suggest offering food daily or then wait and let them chill for a bit?

I ask because I've received some babies that are 100% good to go right out of the box, while others have been stressed/ wound up and really just refused for a while, but once the switch did flip they were worry free. "

It is natural for a snake to not eat right away after it is shipped because it is STRESSED!
Kingsnake experts will agree as well.

If they don't eat right away, that is fine. Give them a week to settle in. There is no data supporting that a snake will not be a good eater if not fed right away.

I would not say that your experience pales with anyone, btw.
