• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

use a list or a dictionary instead

i do not know how to do that...

[blissful wing]

what are you trying to do?

[hard canopy]

replace the name of a variable everytime it loops back or create a new one

[winter marten]

every beginner programmer reaches a point where the think this is what they need to do, but as etrotta pointed out, this should definitely be done with list or dict

If you don't know how to use them, this is a good time to learn

since what you're trying to do isn't really possible (without some really unoptimal and messy code)

I think you just want to add that getting of time in the loop:
Slightly pseudo code

def take_screenshot(time_taken):
    pass

while True:
    now = time.now()
    take_screenshot(now)
    sleep(5)
