i've read that once a dragon is an aldut like around 2 years old you don't need to dust any of their food that it doesn't have an effect on them anymore its only useful for babies. Is this true?

Not going to say if it is true or not, but I still dust my dragons food. Especially my females!
Think of it this way, if an adult human never has any form of calcium during their entire adult life, what is going to happen? They will get weak, brittle bones and be more prone to breaks and joint problems.
Just my opinion.

in my opinion, just like adult females still need calcium to keep strong healthy bones, so do dragons, both male and female, MBD can start at any stage in life, not just babies. Supplementing as adults can be reduced to once every other day calcium with D3 and once weekly multivitamins, but they are still required.
