Well, they are most definitely Salamandra salamandra. Judging by the pattern i would say they probably are S.s.terrestris.
You can find a lot of useful information on this forum, and you can also learn more here:
Caudata Culture Species Entry - Salamandra salamandra - Fire Salamander

You can expect them to grow to about 15cm long, although depending on origin, they could be slightly smaller or quite bigger.
 
Thank you very much. looking online at pictures i did think it might be the fire salamander, but not knowing anything really i couldnt be sure so thought id ask. always better to ask someone who knows this sort of thing then to just assume.
