I don't believe so.

Hybrids are most common in the python family - where most of them start with the latin name "python sp.". Boa constrictors are in the boa constrictor family, rainbow boas are in the epicrates family.

I once heard of epicrates being crossed with eunectes (anaconda) in the 80s, but never had any news of the offspring so I'm guessing the offspring did not survive.

I don't think anyone has ever done epicrates x boa constrictor (latin family) though
