If someone attempted to feed a dog canned beans would anyone say that it equals "necessary" food? No of course not. So why would reptiles be exempt?"

I agree with and understand what you are saying. The trouble is getting the enforcement officers to go by the spirit of the law rather than the letter of the law. Specially when we're not dealing with cute and furry puppies and kitties.
Hopefully when the animal control officer re-inspects them with a reptile vet, their eyes will get opened and begin to change the way they think and handle things.
