Are they Triturus pygmaeus?And female OR male?

[zhanggeer]

I'm not familiar with European Salamander.
Are they Triturus pygmaeus? small marbled newts?
And how to distinguish their gender?

They are more likely to be Triturus marmoratus.

The animals in the photo are too young to sex. Adult males develop a broken orange dorsal stripe and enlarged cloaca. Females are usually larger and heavily built. During the breeding phase the large crest on the male's back is usually a give away too

thanks for your guide!

The coloration and head shape are typically T.marmoratus, but it´s not fully conclusive. It doesn´t eliminate the possibility of hybridization, either. If you don´t have any locality data or information about their captive history i would treat them as an unknown captive lineage of Triturus marmoratus.

The earliest signs of sexual diferentiation should be the broken dorsal line in males. Like Mark said, once they are adult their gender is really very obvious. Yours are too young to sex at the moment.
