how can i save my leopard gecko its egg is wrinkly what makes it wrinkle?

Answer:

Unless it is very close to hatching it either means it has died, was infertile, or it is too dry in the incubator and you need to up the humidity in the substrate and the air around the eggs.
Oh no! Not W.E.S., anything but that! I'm sorry, but. your gecko has wrinkly egg syndrome. It's days are numbered. to a number about equal to a normal gecko, given proper care.
More information would be needed: Incubator type. Temperature Media (vermiculite? perlite? What?) How long it's been incubating If it's not nearing hatching time, add a bit of water to the media--not too much. Sometimes the media will dry out part way through incubation, and low humidity causes the egg to start to cave in due to lack of moisture. Don't get water directly on the egg. If it IS nearing hatching time, eggs will often begin to cave in and sweat close to hatching time--it means you'll be seeing a tiny nose soon. :)
