A little more information would help. Are you trying to take a screen shot of the whole screen or just a window?– StephenCommented Jun 10, 2013 at 19:51

Manually, you can always use Cmd + Shift + 4 and select the area you want.
OR
For Applescript, check out this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8764072/screen-capture-with-applescript
set imagePath to (path to desktop as text) & "screenCapture.png" do shell script "screencapture -mx -T0 " & quoted form of POSIX path of imagePath
Cmd + Shift + 3 takes a screen shot of the whole screen!

1The question was how to "screenshot only external monitor screen." Cmd + Shift + 3 captures both screens.– pknzCommented Jun 10, 2013 at 21:56
If it's the main display, you could use screencapture -m. Or if you know its coordinates, screencapture -Rx,y,w,h (rect) captures a specified area.
-R is only shown in the help message and not on the man page.
system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType shows information about connected displays. osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to bounds of window of desktop' shows the combined dimensions of displays.
Use Cmd + Shift + 4 and select all the screen.
