Zach,

You are right, the glare is distracting. I think the crop is an improvement in composition - you can still follow the rule of thirds and get the body in the frame by making the salamander 2/3 and the background 1/3, which is opposite of how you shot this. It is still underexposed, and now could stand a bit more contrast (use the curves function). It could benefit from a bit more saturation in the reds as well.

It's a tough shot to post process, I would suggest a reshoot - salamander season still has a few weeks left in most places!
