Camera phone? Play with moving further away and zooming in. Playing with lighting is a good idea, too. For example, keeping light sources behind the terrarium will avoid reflected glare. You’re off to a good start!
There are UV filtering lenses you can buy pretty cheaply that kill the glare beautifully. They go over your phone or camera lens
these are pretty good
Artificial lighting in a dark room
Lighting is key. You’re taking photos in a dim room with 1 to 2 light sources that create a harsh glare.
Try moving it to a room with big bright windows so the whole area is well lit. Move the camera down a bit when taking a photo like pic 1. Remove any clutter in the background, (unless it’s intentional artistic clutter).
Good luck 📸
Just accept it looks better in person haha
