You can use scrot and put it in /etc/crontab add this to /etc/crontab

*/2 * * * * <username> scrot 

For that you need scrot, which you can install like this:

sudo apt-get install scrot

You can also give scrot the following argument to move images to your Pictures directory

scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h_scrot.png' -e 'mv $f ~/Pictures/'
