Congratulations on the baby Albino. You're right it does look healthy.
As for the mom.... I'd give her 10 days from the day the baby was born. If she doesn't have any more, then take her to the vet for an ultra sound. I wouldn't wait any longer than 10 days though. If she's still got babies in her.... Well, if they're still alive you don't have to worry. They can induce contractions/labor and she'll simply give birth. If they're not alive, they'll still induce contractions/labor, but there's a chance of infection. Watch her carefully. If she shows signs of distress "take her to the vet immediately".
Vets will use Oxitocin(spelling??) to induce labor. It's the same thing they use for dogs and cats, but it works in reptiles too.
Good luck with her. I hope everything turns out all right.
