Q&A

Is this dragon anatomy viable?

enter image description here

The image is quite old so bear with me.

This dragon is similar in shape and movement to a snake, with light-weight armor plating on its back. Flowers, which honestly look like antennae, blooming off the backs of their heads, and a ball of thorns on their tail to help fight back against their competition. Within the intelligent dragon society, they're used as messengers for their durability and fast pace.

But of course, there's a catch. This small creature evolved TWO pairs of wings on the lower side of their body, and pack a ton of stomach muscles in order to maintain flight.

This is exactly what I need answered: How exactly is this useful for the creature? Why evolve two pairs of wings? And remember, this is a six-limbed dragon, not a bird.

Edit:

After getting all the answers and suggestions for this question, I redesigned the creature and made it functional! Thanks for the help.
