hi lani,
dont want to smartass at you and dont wanna steal your joy in sculpting: but with armatures, (especially long and thin parts) when using polymer clay, its mandatory to use the most firm wire/support you can get. otherwise you will waste the most time holding the parts with one hand, and with the other hand trying to sculpt the subject.
better to be used is thicker wire. or 2 twisted wires.

you could also put polymer clay (treated air hardening clay or at best epoxy clay) over all the wire, heating it hard, creating this way a stronger armature where to put on the clay that is to be sculpted.
not to be forgotten if the wire isnt twisted like in the tail and spine: to tightly twist very thin wire around the armature wire. this way the clay (or kitchenfoil) or whatever will stick much better on there.

in the end....as everyone knows, the more complicated it gets, the less enjoyment it might be. bye :)
