I would start cutting the recliner when it gets closer to when you have to go to work. Just cut just deep enough to get in but not near the snake so you dont cut her. Also cut somewhere it can be stitched back together and not as noticeable, under a cushion or under it would be even better. If you left with the snake still in there it could get out and move before you came home. Furniture can be repaired or replaced, a pet cannot.
