Hard to say as you didn't actually see who did what. It could be the cham shot the crix, had trouble swallowing it or didn't like the taste, and spit it out again. Reptiles don't have a sphincter at the stomach to keep food from backing up into their throat. Chams' stomachs are fairly small for the animal's size. They can regurgitate if they are over full of water or food. I'd just watch them, make sure their feeders aren't too large, make sure they are drinking and active, and don't stress them with handling unless one really does show other problems. Trying to give meds to pygmies is very stressful and easy to overdose.
