I only have experience w/C.orientalis, but I would say you have a boy, and a girl.

Yep i thought that too! Now for the really dumb question,i have been keeping geckos and tree frogs for quite a while and know that geckos will breed no matter what and whites tree frogs won't unless given the right conditions,what about these two,will they breed if left or do they need something special,i really don't want to breed,i keep my animals as purely pets,so i'm hoping they won't!!

The larger one (the first set of pictures) is the female, and the smaller one (the second set of pictures) is male. I'm not very experienced with Fire Salamanders, but I believe they won't breed unless there is a cooling down period first, then a warmer period to stimulate breeding behavior.
