Salamanders don't have long necks, but they were drawn and sculpted with long necks, somewhat dragon-like. All four that I linked have long necks.
But they are salamanders (they are labeled as such).
The fire salamander was a popular emblem among the aristocracy (numerous French nobles used it). They are also included in many bestiaries.
It is sometimes posed like the serpent that tempted Eve because it was said to poison fruit if it touched it.
