No. She poisoned herself with an asp.
Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, commonly known as just Cleopatra or Cleopatra VII.
Queen Cleopatra famously forced servants to commit suicide by means of a strychnine trees fruit seeds, which contain lethal levels of strychnine and brucine, in order to determine if it would be the best means for her own suicide. Upon seeing their agony (which included painful vomiting, facial contortions and convulsions) she opted for the apparently less horrific choice of the asp. (The asp was actually an ancient term for any number of poisonous snakes, but experts think it was probably the cobra that Cleopatra chose to end her life.)While it is true that Cleopatra did force slaves and prisoners of war to take various poisons to test their effects, she never would have chosen snakebite as a means of offing herself. The effects of a cobra/snake bite are in many cases worse than the strychnine poisons and lingering. Also remember that Cleopatra died quickly with a full stomach. It is thought that she killed herself by a combination of three poisons. The "death by an asp" is a myth, very conveniently perpetrated by Octavian himself.
Octavian told a roomer to Marc Antony that Cleopatra died and then Marc Antony stabbed himself in the stomach with a sword and died.Then Cleopatra heard a bout his death and got biten by an asp (poisonus snake).
She died by letting an asp (very poisonous snake) bite her in the chest.
She took an asp snake and put it above her chest and Light it bight away.....:(
Cleopatra is to asp as Julius Caesar is to knife?
asp asp
Legend has it that Cleopatra's death was caused by an asp bite. It is believed that she committed suicide by placing the snake, most likely an Egyptian cobra, to her chest. However, historical accounts vary and the exact snake species remains uncertain.
I believe it is called an asp. The asp was represented on the crown of all Pharaohs, Cleopatra included. However the crown itself was called a uraeus. It had at least one asp on it. Cleopatra's crown had three.
no.

The snake that was supposed to have been used for Cleopatra's suicide was the asp, or Egyptian cobra. But don't you believe it. There are many reasons why this was impossible. It is only a myth.
