Why did Cleopatra choose the asp as method to end her life?

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.

Caesar and Pompey bought up the loan, Therefore, it was in Caesar's interests to have a stable Egypt, one which could repay the vast amount of money owed him. (Since Pompey was dead, the entire sum would have been owed to Caesar.) He was also involved in the Alexandrian war, in which the Alexandrians, who did not want a ruler imposed upon them by Rome, especially the unpopular Cleopatra, revolted. While he was in Egypt, Caesar also consulted with the Egyptian priests on restructuring the Roman calendar.
