Different people will tell you different things. A lot of folks like to have the snake get used to its new home, and allow it a week or so to "settle in." If your snake is nervous, timid, or shy, that may be a good idea. This could also depend on the age of the snake and its size, and if it's comfortable around people or not.
When I got my corn snake, it was already a few months old, it was used to being held, and not shy at all. So, I offered him a mouse the next day after I got him and he ate fine.
