Capable of sensing vibrations and tremors nearly a mile away, these young moles tend to burrow at the first sign of mortal danger.
Thanks to Jwb and his pictures I correctly identified the white variant of the sniffler.
I would just like to mention another observation that helped me! :)
The yellow variant has very red/orange tinted whiskers regardless of lighting but the white one has plain white, grey tipped whiskers regardless of the lighting ^^I just captured the "white" variant after going through hundreds of Snifflers, and wow, it looks a LOT like the common yellow variant. I probably zapped some of these before.
The white is quite bright and looks a little yellow-ish in the cave lighting. The thing that I noticed that made me capture it was, darker toenails. I summoned my yellow Sniffler and looked at them side by side to see the subtle difference.

Reminds me of the Stonewhisker pet, also with a rare white tint - i got the pale mole after about three or four days of active searching and critter killing. Im happy as always when i get a "shiny", but TBH i wish the dev team would make some of these rare variants a bit more extravagant! If they want to make them, why not make them pop a little bit more?
This appears to be the Deepridger of The Ringing Deeps (if you're a colour variant collector...then you know).
So far I've only see the standard colour spawn, and Skittish Sniffler appears to spawn somewhat rarely, possibly sharing spawns with other critters.
EDIT: Caught the pale one in Azj-Kahet at Mmarl Village, it looks very similar at first glance to the orange variant, check portraits!
This pet only seems to appear as a primary, and only spawns rarely compared to most of the pets in the zone. But if you're into collecting all the colours it gets much worse:
There are 3 possible colours, and the yellow-orange one is by far the most common - it has a frequency of 100 in 111 spawns, or 90.1%. The grey one has a spawn chance of 10 in 111, or 9%. By far the rarest, the pale one has a spawn chance of 1 in 111 or 0.9%. (These figures are taken directly from database tables)
