ok so if you switch mediums in your incubation and the eggs "collapse" would that be infertile eggs or bad incubation? if so how? not enough moisture? too much? thanks.

I am not an expert in that field, but I believe that means they are infertile because of lack of moisture. I am sure others will be of more help but I think that is correct.

eggs collapse because they aren't being kept moist enough. Try doing a google search for leopard gecko breeding, and read up on the proper conditions required for successful incuation.

Infertile eggs will collapse and mold usually within the first 6 weeks after the female lays them. Dry or dehydrated eggs will dent in. Dehydrated eggs can often be saved. Spray around the eggs with a mister. You can also spray the egg itself if it is severally caved in.
Check out Albey's method of incubated Leopard Gecko Eggs. This works great for most other reptiles also.
